Can I ask what bitrates (normal & max) you use with your PVR-150?
Also, this thread http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/users/34764 implies that PIO mode is in my version of the driver. However, the reply indicates that the DMA errors may be caused by RAID. I am using softrade (mdadm) for a raid 5 array. Is there anything I can do to mitigate the impact of raid on my PVR-150?
