Yeah, that's what they taught me at school .... change as little as possible while narrowing down a problem :) . I actually was trying to see if the firewire sent SD as well as HD channels, and kinda got distracted from there.

Thought of that. Haven't really tried it though, but have tried to follow this list for HD news, including the XvMC stuff. I was planning to wait for .18 before messing around with it though. I'm not sure if I want to go to CVS, but the more I use Myth, the more I realise that CVS is probably the way to go.
