Axel, As you can see, Hans no longer supports ivtv 0.10.6. Is it possible to get a build of the bleeding ivtv ( and ivtv-fb ) driver and kmdl from the v4l repository < http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb > ? I have a persistent freeze on my PVR-350 on CentOS 5 and I'm hoping that upgrading will take care of the problem, or at least will allow me to get some support from the ivtv guys.
