Yep, this works:

	# rpm -qa |grep myth

There shouldn't be any complaining, except about other myth packages. 
I've removed all the rpms before without incident. One long line with 
all the packages should circumvent any and all complaining.

	# rpm -e mythtv-suite mythtv mythtv-backend mythtv-frontend mythvideo 
... etc

Yep. The rpms never touch the database on installation or removal.

Remove the rpm version before installing, and again, you *should* be 
fine. ;)

A more recent ivtv yes, but just so you know, the ivtv rpm wasn't 
installed as part of mythtv-suite; it is a separate component also 
pulled from ATrpms, but not explicitly tied to mythtv-suite (since many 
people using mythtv-suite don't have PVR-x50 cards). I'm requesting a 
new ivtv rpm from Axel as soon as AVerMedia M179 support is included 
(and my cards arrive), at which time it will hopefully also support 350 
TV-Out...
