In an ideal world, these drivers should
a) the best parts (hw support, functionality) from each driver should
be analyzed, and it should all be merged into one driver for the PVR
family of cards
b) be written in sucha a way that Freevo, MythTV as well as other
programs could use them.

Any volunteers?

this is were products like Freevo and MythTV comes in; they can do what
you want (I have personally tested MythTV, but I guess Freevo also have
recording profiles).

Good luck!
