I was working on the assumption that when one has configured "IVTV MPEG-2" 
verses "Analog V4L" as one's Card Type that MythTV has in fact assured 
that the "Correct" Device Driver had been loaded/linked, since if memory 
serves both Probe the HVR-1600 Card on the /dev/video0 Device, although 
ONLY the "IVTV MPEG-2" Card Type works within MythTV???
