I downloaded these on 8/1 or 8/2 from the "click here to get the latest 
snapshot" thing on their website.

Until those docs are updated, do you have a suggested place to look for 
what "output=x" setting I should use?  Doing it twice in a row with 
output=1 then output=2 was the only way I could get it to work when 
changing channels.

ALSO:
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get my initial channel properly 
set on machine bootup?  It seems that mythbackend gets confused and I have 
to run xawtv then change the channel before running 
mythbackend/mythfrontend.  I tried v4lctl setstation with no luck.
