Thanks for running the test.

I can't comment on the BT8x8 cards but I know the PVR takes a good 2 
seconds or so to switch channels.  I really need to get the -v output and 
also any feedback from the driver to see if it wigs out if myth tries to 
change the channel to fast.  I have recorded show back to back on two diff 
channels before with success so it might be some kind of buffer overflow or 
something... not sure... I'll get more debug info when I run it all again 
tonight.
