Well I can tell you offhand there is a little bit of extra work involved for
Mythbuntu wrg to the PVR-350 output as well as the IR blaster.

Neither of these have automated solutions within this release.  You will need to
install mythtv from gutsy-proposed to get the fix for pvr-350 output as well as
install a package from a PPA.

For the IR blaster, this will depend on if you have a remote also.

Thanks,
