[mythtv-users] PVR 350 DVD playback quality

[Patrick de Brabander [mythtv]]

There is nothing to it.

Just copy the ivtvdev_drv.o from John in to the directory.
see previous message from John Harvey, which includes the correct
ivtvdev_drv.o. Latest version is 0.10.1

Please be aware to install the latest ivtv 0.3.5f drivers from Chris.

see otherwise your xorg.log for error details.
