[mythtv] pvr350 and DVB

Hi,

I am currently trying to set up a system with a DVB-S card (Twinhan
with CI) and the pvr350 as a decoder card. Now, I have some question
about what does and should work with mythtv.

Do I need to run X11 (ivtvdev) on the pvr350 in order to get it working with
mythtv?
I am asking because I could not get it to run with ivtv-0.2.0-rc3e and
kernel 2.6.11.4 yet.
How do I tell mythtv to use the pvr350? I set the option n
settings.pro (before the new configure) and also in the Setup for
video output. Is that enough?
Am I correct in assuming that the mythtv won't play transport streams on
the pvr350? If so, would ivtvdecoder.cpp be the place to add support
for it? Will mythtv try playing TS even if it can't or is that blocked
somewhere?

And one more thing, I just got a new diseqc switch which can handle 10
inputs and uses different diseqc commands for switching the
inputs. Where do I have to add support for that?
(Instead of e0 10 38 (f0 | (nr*4)) 00 00 it uses e0 10 39 (f0|nr) 00
00)
I already tried it with libdvb and it works fine (not included the
version on the website).
