Both.  But when Myth didn't seem to work I went back to cat.
With my old unit a cat /dev/video0 > test.ts just worked.
I didn't even have to set any options with v4l2-ctl.

Yes.

So I unplugged and replugged and saw this:

Jul  1 09:02:47 devbox kernel: hdpvr: INFO get_video_info: get video
info returned: 5, 00 00 00 00 00
Jul  1 09:02:47 devbox kernel: hdpvr: INFO hdpvr_device_init: no valid
video signal or device init failed

It was tuned to an SD channel at that point.

I then unplugged, tuned to a 1080i channel on the
settop box and replugged and see this:

Jul  1 09:35:22 devbox kernel: hdpvr: INFO get_video_info: get video
info returned: 5, 80 07 38 04 1e
...
Jul  1 09:35:56 devbox kernel: hdpvr: INFO start_streaming: video
signal: 1920x1080 at 30hz

And it is working for this channel.  Anyway I was probably just
testing an HD channel on my old unit so it is probably working as well
as before.
