The new version of the em28xx drivers provided by Markus Rechberger a
couple of days ago, see:
http://mcentral.de/pipermail/em28xx/2008-May/001517.html
Now do not cause the lock up during booting when a pvr 1/2/350 is also
installed.  Both devices can now be made to work in mythtv.  I am
running mythbunu 8.10 and Markus has kindly compiled the modules since
there are some issues with compilation under ubuntu 8.10 (see above post
on the em28xx mailing list).  

I do have one remaining issue that I cannot have the device plugged in
during boot but have to insert after the machine is up and then restart
the backend to recognize the tuner.  If it is inserted during boot I
find the driver reports a bunch of errors and mythtv doesn't get a
lock.  

I have posted them on the em28xx mailing list and hope that they can be
resolved.

To use add it as a dvb tuner in the backend set up.  I found the channel
scan in mythtv-setup worked just fine now.
