Hi Mike - thanks for the response. I just posted the following to a IVTV 
support forum. From what you see below does it sound like I need your 
patch? (I'm pretty sure it does.)

Thanks,

Hey all,
    I've been trying all day to get my new PVR-350 working so I can use 
it in MythTV but the tuner just doesn't want to cooperate. Here's the 
info from tveeprom:

tveeprom: Hauppauge: model = 48132, rev = K168, serial# = 7336143
tveeprom: tuner = LG TAPE-H001F MK3 (idx = 68, type = 37)
tveeprom: tuner fmt = NTSC(M) (eeprom = 0x08, v4l2 = 0x00001000)
tveeprom: audio_processor = MSP3440 (type = 11)

    My /etc/modutils/ivtv (yes, I'm using Debian Sid) looks like this:

# ivtv modules setup
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
options ivtv ivtv_debug=1 mpg_buffers=90
options tuner type=37
options msp3400 once=1 simple=1
add below ivtv msp3400 saa7115 tuner

    Yes, I'm making sure I run update-modules after editing 
/etc/modutils/ivtv.

    I'm running the 2.6.7 kernel with ivtv-0.1.10-pre2-ck105b patched 
for 2.6 from http://kmos.org/~ckennedy/ivtv/. 
<http://kmos.org/%7Eckennedy/ivtv/> Everything compiled and installed 
fine, and it's working -BUT!- I'm having the "channel x is really 
channel x-1, and the colors aren't quite right" problem.

    What am I doing wrong here? Can anyone help me figure this out? So 
far I've tried 24 different tuner types (if 
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.7/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.tuner 
said the tuner type was NTSC or didn't say which specific type it was I 
tried it) with no luck, and I know I'm close but it's not working yet.

Thanks,
- Dave
