Post subject:  PVR 350

Just wanted to let you know that I got a PVR 350 working with R3.

It was kind of a hassle, so I'm looking forward to R4 (I was going to request ivtv inclusion, but I see that is already popular).

My method was get the kernel source (the knoppix kernel source- the debian one didn't work), get ivtv source. Build the ivtv drivers, following those instructions a couple times. The first time, the modules wouldn't load, the second time they would load but /dev/video0 didn't work, third time was a charm.

Anyway thanks for an awesome project! I bow before the impressive display of linux skills of the project maintainers. Can't wait for R4, because then I can recommend it to PVR series users as well.

Hopefully the maintainer of the Debian packages will package up V.12 of mythtv soon, so R4 can be upgraded, I hear MythTv v.12 is really good with the PVR series cards.

Already included! I've tested w/ the 250, but don't have a 350. I should just work(knock on wood)!

Always the third time! ;-)
