Will upgrading to Mythbuntu 9.10 help?  I know that  it was coming with 
0.22 on it, so wouldn't the v4l-dvb apps and hdpvr module be there 
then?  How are other people hooking their HD-PVRs up?  Are they 
compiling v4l-dvb too?  Perhaps I missed that somewhere as I thought I 
could just connect it via USB and have it recognized and work.

My kernel right now is: 

Linux hdevine-desktop 2.6.28-16-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 20 
19:48:32 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I've been holding off upgrading until I watch all of the recordings that 
I've been meaning to catch up on.  If it fails for some reason, I'd just 
nuke it and start over.  Not a big deal to me.

Thanks,
Harry
