Finally re-compiled MythTV CVS tonight with that patch.  The EPG problem is 
solved as you stated in that post a while back, but I still get very frequent 
freezes on playback, and the timestamp problem still persists.  So, one small 
step forward, I suppose.  Also, now when I restart X to get the frontend 
back, the screen stays black (or I guess whatever frame it froze on, it 
happened to be black frames cause I was doing commercial skips when it 
froze), and the only way to get anything to come up is just to assume myth is 
back and loaded, and hit enter to go to live tv and clear things up again.

Also, this time, when trying to pause/unpause it, like before it sometimes 
works.  But when it doesn't, I get a message in the frontend log stating it 
waited too long for the decoder to pause.  In dmesg I get:

ivtv: i2c client addr: 0x21 not found!
ivtv: i2c client addr: 0x21 not found!
ivtv: i2c client addr: 0x21 not found!

ivtv: i2c client addr: 0x21 not found!

That may have been from more than one occurance from the freeze since I tested 
it a couple of times.

Chris,

Is there an easy way for me to revert to the pre-DMA code, but get the featues 
of the new cx25840 stuff as well?  Can I just use the older driver and copy 
over the cx25840 files?  If not, how can I go about this?

Thanks,

~Lou
