[mythtv-users] Re:Does anyone have a working dual pvr-250 setup?

[Vinton Coffman]

Sorry to everyone.  I didn't mean to be overly critical or have a bad 
undertone.  I've recently had some tragic events in my life and stress 
is getting the better of me.  Please accept my sincere apology.

I do usually wait a couple of days to see if myth changes appear to be 
stable and they almost always are or are fixed in a few days.  I hadn't 
updated to the decoder branch of ivtv until two weeks ago.  I was 
running the 250 only version from June or July and I just had bad luck 
when I chose to update.  I did try to use update -D but it complained 
about a few files not being in the repository.  I thought all files are 
kept in the repository even if their not a part of the active checkout. 
  Is that correct?

How far back can I go on the ivtv driver with current cvs myth?  Wasn't 
there some v4l2 changes to sync the IOCTL calls in both projects?

I think I'm already using MPEG-TS but I'l check that tonight.  Is there 
any documentation on what the different streams are used for?  Well, at 
least the ones that are less than obvious.  Specifically, which one's 
can be transcoded to MPEG-4 by mythtv or does it figure out the 
incoming stream type on its own?

Thank you all,
Vinton
