And of course also to Ian Armstrong and John Harvey for the X11-driver and especially Chris Kennedy and Kevin Thayer for all the base work on the ivtv-driver. I've been using this driver for a very long time now (the oldest I can find on my system is 0.3.8 of aug/sep 2005, but I have done some cleanup :)) I must say: I have been very happy with it, using 2 PVR-350's for several years now. I can even remember the daily releases from Chris, sometimes even counting from -a to -k in less than 24 hours. I hope lots of people will enjoy the use of the ivtv driver as much as I have. On that note it's also perhaps a bit sad to say that I have decided to convert to a completely DVB-S based system, so for the near future I will only be using the TV-out of the PVR-350 until I have decided what the best choice will be for (preferably HDMI) TV-out. Oh well, thanks for all the hard work and for all (future) users of ivtv: enjoy!
