If you mean "Latest CVS tarball" then you've got it.

Output should be 1, input should be 3 (1 for svideo). I have several card
revs and this is true on all of them.

test_ioctl will let you set the frequency, the ivtv driver also comes with a
perl script which can do it (I'm lazy though and don't like to install all
the various required perl gizmozs it needs, so I was pretty happy to find
chann.c in the utils directory, had to change the frequency table it was
using by default but after that it works).

I should also say that I do not have a problem with the mythbackend getting
all confused about channels on load.
