[mythtv-users] Need help with Air2pc setup

[Angel Li]

Also, don't install the ivtv drivers unless you really need them. I'll 
rip out that line in the howto that displays info on the saa71115. I 
just assumed that if it had the string "Air2PC" it came from their 
driver. You know what they say about "assume"...
