Yes, I'm using the mplayer that I got from "apt-get install 
mythtv-suite".  If I remove the -vo xv from the command, mplayer plays 
really jerkily and says that my computer is too slow to play video.  
Anyway, MythTV uses "mplayer -vo xv" when playing movies from my movie 
library, so I need to fix this in order to get MythTV to work, right?

OK, I'll try that when I get home.  But if I get the latest version of 
the driver from CVS, will it work with the rest of the components which 
I downloaded from atrpms?  Also, is this a known problem with the 
driver?  From what I see on this list, most people can just follow 
Jarods guide and the driver works.  There must be something wrong with 
my setup, but I can't imagine what.

It is a Hauppauge PVR 350 (PAL version)

Thanks for the advice
