Yes, but was this before or after mythtv touched the driver?

(And running pvrui.sh is just a wrapper around the stuff in /sys so just 
dumping the control variables directly does the same thing.)

OK, this is a very useful piece of information.  But I still need to know 
if that 720x480 you got back was before or after mythtv attempted to use 
the driver.  I need to know what you got there _after_ mythtv touched it. 
I'm guessing that it will be some kind of messed up resolution.

Can anyone else try this?  Unfortunately right now I'm not set up for this 
test (I usually test with mplayer and xawtv 4.x which of course work fine 
with the latest snapshot).

I'll add it.  Thanks.
