Hello,

I read some posts that a couple people here were using
the PVR 250 with iVTV driver.  Is there any work being
done to be able to use this card and it's variants for
Freevo?  

I just got my card working in Linux and it's pretty
impressive since it just streams mpeg2 from
/dev/video.

>From what I understand the iVTV driver uses the V4L2
API.  Does Freevo use some V4L program currently, or
does it just control mplayer to do everything such as
channel switching, tuner setup, etc..?  

I've had to play around with a test program
(test_ctrl) that is part of the iVTV driver package
which I think conforms to V4L2 API to change channels
on the card and set the type of tuner, etc...
Seems all that would need to be done is have Freevo
control this test program that speaks V4L2.

Any thoughts on this?  Shall I attempt to write
something like this?

Cheers,
Rich C.
