In this case the CPU ist at nearly 100% when both cards are recording in PIO-Mode and you cannot watch any recording at the same time. I think I'm going to switch my workstation (Asus A7V) and my MythBox (Asus A8V) since I can't see any progress on this problem and I really don't know what to try else... The best combination I found out is Kernel-2.6.14 with ivtv-0.4.0. It runs for about 2 days before ivtv crashes. The newer kernel and driver are the shorter is the uptime. With 0.4.6 I have to reboot about once an hour. dreadhead _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
