Hello,
I am currently testing mythtv 0.21_3 (but the same problem exists in mythtv
0.21_2).

Background: my main MythTV machine runs MythTV 0.20, and have a PVR-500
(Hauppauge) analog card with dual tuners. My test machine have a PVR-350
card (analaog, single tuner). Both cad use the pvrxxx (multimedia/pvrxxx)
driver .The create /dev/cxm0 devices (and /dev/cxm1 for the PVR-500).
In MythTV 0.20, when defining the card in mythtv-setup, I select "MPEG-2
encoder card (PVR-x50,PVR-500)".

Now, in MythTV 0.21 this choice is missing! I only have the following
choices:
"Analog V4L capture card"
"MJPEG capture card (Matrox G200, DC-10)"
"USB MPEG-4 encoder box (Plextor ConvertX, etc)"
"DBox2 TCP/IP cable box"
"HDHomeRun DTV tuner box"
"Network Recorder"

But choosing one of the doesn't get my PVR-350 card working.
Does anybody know how to fix this?

In MythTV 0.20, the choices are:
"Analog V4L capture card"
"MJPEG capture card (Matrox G200, DC-10)"
"MPEG-2 encoder card (PVR-x50,PVR-500)"
"pcHDTV DTV capture card (w/V4L drivers)"
"USB MPEG-4 encoder box (Plextor ConvertX, etc)"
"DBox2 TCP/IP cable box"
"HDHomeRun DTV tuner box"
"CRC IP Network Recorder"
"Freebox Network Recorder"
