As requested I ran the two commands and here are the responses.
v4l2-ctl --info reported this:
Driver info:
Driver name : ivtv

kernel version: uname -a reported this:
Linux mythtv01 2.6.18-chw-13 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Jun 2 21:06:06 PDT 2007
i686 GNU/Linux
Also, I feel I should make a correction in my original statement. It is
not the MythTV is recording the information correctly, the more I look
at it the better description is the tuner is not decoding the Closed
Captions properly. Also, I have two 350s in the system, but the
original is used for TV out. The problem is there whether there is one
card or two in the system. I know I could have gotten a 250, but the
price the friend offered was too good to pass up.
Thanks for your help.
Is there a site for one to give donations to this cause?
I have shamefully taken the MythTV/KnoppMyth and Ivtv development for
granted for too long and would like to do a little in my part.
