And note that the bttv v4l driver built from the pcHDTV 2.0 tarball never 
registers the digital side of the card for me, which I suppose may be because 
I'm not running a 2.6.11 kernel (which the wiki says is needed), but the docs 
say everything should work with the latest FC3 kernels... Now, the dvb driver 
does work with my HD-2000, but I decided to go back to the v4l driver for 
now.

Anyhow, since I like pain and suffering, I took the latest FC3 kernel as a 
base, added the latest 2.6.10 kraxel patch, some of my own patches and that 
1.6-based patch of yours found at the link above, mushed it all together, 
fixed a few rejects, and built a kernel rpm out of it all. The resulting 
kernel's bttv driver works beautifully with my HD-2000.
