IvyTV is an open source driver for the Hauppauge PVR 250/350 series of MPEG video capture cards. The IVTV project develops a kernel driver for Linux and a driver for X11 for hardware based on Conexant's CX23415/CX23416 codec chip such as the Hauppauge PVR 150/250/350/500 models and other supported hardware.

The project's name is derived from the original chip name, iTVC15.

To get started, download the driver and firmware, and read the howto for more information. In case of problems consult the troubleshooting section or ask for help.

What's New in This Release:
Added support for the DIGITAL COWBOY DCT-MTVP1 card
Updated driver to use the new ROUTING commands of the video4linux subsystem.
Removed upd64083, upd64031a and wm8739: these are now in the 2.6.17 kernel.
The ivtv driver now uses the I2C_HW_B_CX2341X board ID, instead of borrowing the bttv ID.
