Unfortunately, I would probably be considered a guru, so you might want to
ignore this. If you are willing to stick with stock 2.4.20, it really is
fairly trivial to get the driver working.  Take it slow, 90% of the problems
people have isn't with the driver; but rather, getting mythtv to recognize
that the driver is installed.  I, on the other hand, wasted several hours
until I noticed that the ebuild installed setup, and the CVS didn't, so I
was still running the old code.
