I'm considering the IVTV-0.4.2 road, but I'm afraid to go and make
changes to this system that I am not knowledgeable enough to undo. 
KnoppMyth just works for most people with my hardware, so I'm a very
reluctant to stray from what is common from that user base.  (This is
the category that the Jarod Wilson guides fall in)  I don't want to be
an edge case when I go looking for help.  However, I think I officially
am one.

I'm just afraid that I will make my machine worse, and will find myself
doing a clean install of KnoppMyth R5A30.2
