Looks like this is the same issue that screws up Apple's built-in VNC client - symptoms are the same: machine is visible through Bonjour, I can connect, the mouse pointer moves, but screen doesn't get updated. Super frustrating. -- Compiz / vnc screen refresh with nvidia-restricted

Hi. Thanks for all your feedback. Analogue TV will on the hvr1300/3000/4000 work but not correctly in mythtv. See this report http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14116 where I replied recently. I am struggling currently with mythtv 0.22 hence a lack of reports from me and I am seeing

Hi. Thanks for all your reports. It should be appreciated that these fixes in no way affect the tuner module and should have no impact on channel reception. If you find a difference then it can either be a transient one else a bug elsewhere although I cannot see where that could be. I have

lo Testing and patch cleanup will be completed by Nov. 8th. The patches will then be presented elsewhere. How long they take to arrive in the kernel can only be guesswork. Until that time a few things will be tested: 1. confirmation that dvb-t retuning on the hvr4000 is fixed. 2. confirmation

hi i will personally confirm this against with the hvr4000 is a few days but for me there is no great rush, plus, i have other things to do so it's not a high priority. as far as the kernel is concerned, the best bet is 2.26.32 or later. if you wan't success you will need to use the patches in

Hi. When watching TV mythtv will record to disk at all times you are not watching what directly comes out of the card itself but a slightly delayed copy. For this fault to related it would mean that you failed to change channel and not failed when viewing the recorded stream, mythtv should pop up

Hi. I am in not a great rush to inspect the HVR-4000, however, the fix for DVB-T tuning on the HVR1300 by Gunni has also been applied to affect the HVR3000/4000. If the problem exists on those cards also and it's then please go ahead right now and test the repo and please success or failure here.

hi Thanks Dario for confirming that this works on the hvr1300. Now we just need to see if this is also a solution for the hvr4000/3000. Some further investigation as to the reason for this will now be in progress. Further to the wild guess above about a timing issue there may also be API

P.S. Some other investigation and not related to the fault observed here needs persuing with the hvr1300 IR receiver. Perhaps a new bug needs creating, but observation so far is that ir-kbd-i2c is not probing correctly unless i2c_scan is enabled. bye -- Channel scan timed out
