0.3.8 is quite stable, and XV works wonderfully. But you also have to 
build and install the
new Xdriver 0.10.6. You'll find them both here:

Don't Panic! ivtv is really quite easy to build and install. The xdriver 
is more difficult, but still
doable.

Nothing to it really. Build and install the ivtv 0.3.8 and xdriver 
0.10.6, and you're done. Just
use XV and enjoy.

Probably not, but I'm not sure. I'm running KnoppMyth R5A16.
