Thanks.  I may try that because now I'm not getting video to play in 
mythfrontend.  Typically this happens after kernel upgrades and I have 
to recompile ivtv against the new sources.  I've done this but the video 
still does not play.  Any idea if this could be related to the new 
version of lirc?  I had video before upgrading lirc but was unable to 
use my remote.  Now I can use my remote but don't get video.  :)

I'm using ivtv 0.4.0-r2 from the Gentoo portage system.  It's the newest 
available AFAIK.

Thanks,

Drew
