If you want to do analog recording using the 1800's on Myth, you might
want to consider another card or wait until the drivers improve.  I
have a 1800 in my system and the digital tuner works great, but the
analog doesn't work consistently in Myth.  I got it working once, but
the next time I rebooted I was getting a fuzzy picture again.  Even
when it was working correctly, the recording length Myth reported was
never correct (1 hour 14 minutes for a 1 hour recording).

The analog tuner seems to work much better if you use tvtime or
capture directly from the hardware.  I think Myth is expecting the
driver to work exactly like the ivtv driver and it certainly doesn't
do that yet.
