I read all about the via/pvr500 problem and decided to go with a new mb, I chose one based on the nvidia nrforce chipset and I have not had a problem in the last 6 months now. I can even watch live tv from a frontend on my old ibm thinkpad A21M laptop. -- John Registered Linux User 263680, get counted at http://counter.li.org _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
