I use my mythbox daily, running FC3 with 350 output, and 0 problems on the frontend (backend issues aren't related to this discussion).

If there's any other info I can provide that might be helpful, please let me know.
The problem most of us are having can be traced back to the 2.6.9 kernels. I believe there were a number of kernel changes related to the framebuffer that cause issues with the packaged ivtv 0.1.0 and 0.2.0. The 2.6.8-1.521 kernel appears to be the last packaged kernel that Jarod's guide works well against. However, the older kernels are no longer available (at least that I can find) and ivtv development hasn't caught up with newer packaged kernels. Well, maybe in CVS it has.
For those of us that would prefer to use packaged installs, does anyone know where the older kernel packages can be found?
Maybe someone would be willing to put up the 2.6.8-1.521 kernels and the kernel-module-ivtv-2.6.8-1.521-0.2.0-55_rc2j.rhfc2.at on a torrent?
This could resolve a lot the recent FC3/PVR-350 mail traffic until development catches up.
Thanks, to all that contribute and make this a worthwhile project.
