I'm using the 2.6.6-kernel-patch-rev-1.2 from the pchdtv web site. I see 
there's a 1.3 up now, but haven't tried it yet.

ivtv, et.al  are the first drivers loaded. Next, I load bttv with 
dtv_nr=32 to get /dev/dtv1 (video33) to initialize properly. I have to 
use xvmc and an nvidia driver & card to decode hdtv fast enough to do 
any good.

Watching live tv with my PVR350 and pcHDTV cards is a little annoying, 
as you have to schedule something to busy out the ivtv recorder. This 
seems the only way to get mythfrontend to use the hdtv card. Ideally, I 
would like to have mythfrontend switch to whatever recorder (card) was 
required to display the selected channel. Or, maybe I don't understand 
how it works.

Mythtv is yesterday's cvs without any patches other than what I 
mentioned about the qt full screen issue.
