I posted this in another thread, but it's such good news (for us 350
owners) that I thought I'd post it here too....
Hot news off the ivtv-dev list is a new X driver from Matthias that make
the EPG usable and some patches from Chris to fix ivtv errors (cutting
recordings short etc.). Personally I only needed to use the X driver,
because the latest ivtv rpm from Axel has been very stable for me (aside
from the EPG). All I did was install the new ivtv X driver, modify one
line my X86Config, and restart X. My EPG now works flawlessly with my
PVR-350.
Here's the link to the driver...

Chris' patches (which I didn't need) are here...

With both those two, everyone with PVR-350's *should* be able to get
stable tv-out and use the OSD/EPG without lockups....YMMV.
Many kudos to Matthias, Chris, Kevin, the rest of the ivtv guys, and of
course Isaac for Myth being some awesome....
