I have it working with Ubuntu 9.10 (not mythbuntu) on kernel
2.6.31-19-generic.  I am using the v4l-dvb drivers and the firmware sources
from Steven Toth's site (http://www.steventoth.net/blog/).

I found this thread on the ubuntu forums (
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=942403) to be very helpful (even if
you don't use ubuntu).  It outlines many of the issues people have had and
any known solutions.
