Heya, Jarod.  I did try it and got Toth's branch to patch and compile
without much problem.  Unfortunately, it did not seem to do the trick.
 The HDPVR is recognized as a capture device, but not as an IR device.

That may be for the best.  A combined FE/BE with a dual HDHR, a
HVR-2250 and an HDPVR may be too much for an ION board.  Even a dual.
Its probably time to separate the configuration into two separate
boxes.

Thanks,
jr
