I reinstalled/upgraded my system from FC2 to Centos 4 a few weeks ago,
no problems so far. Followed the Fedora Howto from jarod (with a few
exceptions)

At least at the same level as Fedora so far.

The ivtv driver rpms worked fine for capturing. I had some problems with
with ivtv-fb driver, but I didnt get ivtv-fb to work well when I
compiled it myself either in then end. So I continued to use nvidia for
tv-out (also with drivers from atrpms) .

Also, the lirc rpms didn't include the imon drivers, if you have
hardware for that and want to use it over the Hauppage remote.
