Just for clearing things up, the reason why I even mentioned something about
the "external channel change" is that I wasn't able to change channels in
the first place. I've set up xmltv retrieving my channels, and mapping them
correctly. I tried to use a plain Hauppauge-card on the same machine before
the 350, then I could change channels, now I can't (but with the old card
and the lack of HW support I wasn't able to watch tv at all). It looks like
something is going on when trying to change channel, the stream stops for 1
sec, but return to the same channel. I have this issue both in livetv-mode
and in record-mode (which points out that I'm not really able to use the
recorder as intended).

Hmm, somehow, don't know how, I was able to run X on my fb...

Tried to download the driver found here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/ivtv-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00721.html
...not valid archive is the message I get :(
That's the reason why I use the driver found on this site:

As I said, not sure how, but suddently I got it working. My problem now is
that the image suffers from a lot of overscan! On the hor. line, which
should run from 0-720 on the "Kruler", I'm only able to see from 60-680.
It's something like that on my vertical line as well. Just for the record,
this is not dependent on the overscan-setting in mythtv, as it appear long
before mythtv is even started. How can I get rid of this overscan?
