I offered to give him one, he declined.  The issue wasn't about specific
support for this card, it's about supporting mpeg1/mpeg2 data streams
in MythTV alongside the current format. I'm learning what I can about
the various libraries in an attempt to modify MythTV in the least intrusive
way possible. (To prevent this support from becoming one of those features
that's broken everytime something else is touched)
