Hi, I just wanted to add to this thread that this newer version of the firmware has solved my encoding problems as well. I have the following:
PVR-350 KM400 chipset Sempron 2400 I was getting the ivtv: ENC: EOS interrupt not received! stopping anyway. log messages when I would try to encode. Usually not on the first encoding, but on the second. This seemed to cause the driver/firmware to get into a state where it would no longer work; zero-length mpeg files from then on. I upgraded the firmware to 1.18.21.22301 and now encoding works all the time.
