Ah OK.  I'd forgotten who it was.  Updating that would be great.  Thanks. 
Also, if you haven't already done so, the pvrusb2 site link changed a 
while back.  The old link "http://www.isely.net/pvrusb2.html" will 
redirect OK, but I moved everything down a level in the hierarchy so 
either of these will work now:

   http://www.isely.net/pvrusb2/pvrusb2.html
   http://www.isely.net/pvrusb2/

The site's top level directory was just getting too cluttered.  I should 
have done it this way when I had first set it up.

Yes, the pvrusb2 driver is in 2.6.18-rcX now and barring a disaster it 
should be in the official stable 2.6.18 kernel release and all kernels 
forward from that point.

FYI, it's my understanding that ivtv will follow in the 2.6.19 kernel.
