Playing back of recording from Knoppmyth R5F1, the previous version, everything looked great. I just had to put the options = osd ... in my /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv file. What is the command to determine which version of ivtv? Is it easy to back level the driver? I'm sure I just can't replace it with the former. That would be too easy. :) Thanks for the reply, and thank you for all of your effort in the project. _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
