One option is to use the v4l-dvb-hg package and then your kernel
choice is pretty independent of the ivtv driver. I have used 2.6.20 to
2.6.24 of several different sources. Right now I am using
openvz-sources-2.6.24 (because I need virtual machine containers for
testing purposes).  I have been using v4l-dvb-hg since late December
and I have not had any problems recording several hundred programs...
And the other nice thing is it supports my QAM card (kworld 115) as
well.
