	You're welcome.   Good to know the words aren't going un-read ;)

	Should be trivial to edit a script to put an option or two in for
	specifying the rate.

	Oh, there is a shorter way.  Doesn't involve linux though.  But
	then neither does it involve virii-inc (aka windoze).

	Ok - that'd be a Brooktree 878 or similar (I know Hauppauge used
	the Bt878 in the last one of their cards I dabbled with eons ago).

	Haven't done  much recording of TV myself since 1) other than an
	occasional show on PBS there's nothing worth watching and 2) I have
	an external ATSC receiver with a ieee1394 port - get the transport
	stream directly (much like a PCHDTV card but more convenient ;)).

	And of course the usual driver growth/development pains to go thru.
	Nice thing I noticed about the 5500 is that it's a universal PCI card
	and can run in either 3.3 or 5v PCI slots.  Just in time  for PCI 
	slots to be slowly fading away in favor of PCI-Express - sigh.

	Actually from ffmpeg you should be able to get 'yuv4mpeg' output and
	that can be fed into a mjpegtools pipeline.  And that, I think, would
	be a Good Thing.

	Good Luck with the PVR efforts 

	Cheers,
	Steven Schultz
