The attachments madre it to the list, and  I have tested the driver
with both mplayer and MythTV.
Both cards (PVR-350 and PVR-500) work fine with mplayer. The PVR-350
card is a little more sensitive to channels (sometimes I have to use
pvr250-setchannel twice to get a specific channel), but other than that
there isn't any problem.

MythTV currently doesn't work at all, but perhaps it is related to the
testing you and I have done?
(I have not rebuilt mythtv)

I tried (in mythtv-setup) to delete the pvr-350 and use just the pvr-500, but it didn't work either.

Thats it.
