[mythtv-users] X over PVR-350

[Maverick]

I used the intstructions found about half way down here:
http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2995&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=

But instead, I packaged my own firmware zip file from cd for my PVR350
(v2.2a) for doing the ivfwextract.pl step.

I also chose ivtv v0.3.2a, as it was the very latest that would
actually compile. I couldn't get 0.3.2b to compile, undefined constant
errors.

ivtv I'm using:
http://205.209.168.201/~ckennedy/ivtv/ivtv-0.3/OLD/ivtv-0.3.2a.tgz

Until doing that, I was having a lot of problems with mythfrontend seg
faulting, and things not working. New FW + New Driver helped alot.

Hope that helps,
-Kenneth
