[ivtv-users] cx18 questions

[G.M. Humfrey]

I currently run MythTV with a PVR-350 on a Fedora Core 4 installation running on a 1ghz system, with a front-end configured as well.  It has been pretty stable for years, and the only thing I've had to change was when MythTV updated to handle SchedulesDirect, then I compiled a custom version for my installation and voila all is well.  I am considering getting an HVR-1600 card to add to the system as a secondary-cable-tv / tertiary-OTA via ATSC  pair.  I'm trying to see if it would be  worthwhile and possible, before I
try to put together money to get the HVR-1600 and put forward the effort
to try and make it work.  However, I do have some questions I'm hoping that somebody can please give me some useful input on.  

Is it possible to compile the latest CX18 drivers and install them without overwriting my existing ivtv 0.70 driver set?  
If I do the  (make menuconfig ; make; make install ) with the CX18 set is it likely to cause any disruptions to existing drivers (including V4L components, etc..?)

If anybody has experience working that they could lend their opinon on the possibilty of making this work, I would appreciate hearing from you.

Thank you in advance

I forgot to mention, my kernel is 2.6.17-1.2142_FC4
