And, FWIW, there is absolutely no code in MythTV that references 
specific drivers.  We use standard APIs--V4L and DVB APIs--to access 
data from the cards via the drivers that are loaded into the running 
Linux kernel.  So, you can use whatever card drivers work properly with 
your cards, as long as they are valid V4L or DVB drivers.  Just ensure 
you load those drivers into the kernel.
