I can now confirm that mythtv with 3 ivtv tuners is working well in my PV DomU.
I've had the system up and running for about a day now, and recorded 3 
parallel movies today.
Even when it ran out of disk space at one point, there were no unexpected 
issues in the DomU nor in the Dom0, and after cleaning up the disk, and 
restarting mythtv, recording continued without any problems.

I'm impressed!


Regards,
Mark.
