Screwed up and sent a reply to myself from the wrong account last night 
that bounced, so I'll recap it quickly...

I more or less followed David's instructions there, with the addition 
of Ulmo's 1.4 patch, and my pcHDTV card is happily capturing again, 
gets fully recognized by Myth, no more dtvsignal segfaults, etc. Still 
need to get it all the way set up in Myth, but looking good. From what 
I've been able to figure out from my logs, there's a sys_* call 
somewhere in the pcHDTV driver that won't work with RH's latest and 
greatest (and annoying) patches to their version of the kernel.

I plan to work further on my own setup today, as well as mix in 
packaging this kernel up in rpm form for anyone that wants to play with 
it. If this kernel works okay, I may see about adding some of Con 
Kolivas' patches on top of it to see if hdtv performance is even 
better. I'm thinking of asking Axel to set up a kernel-pcHDTV section 
on ATrpms, or possibly creating my own mini-repo...
