Upgrading Xdriver *should* not cause any issues but will not solve your issue. If you go for the latest and greatest (see below) it might be necessary. > Just before I rebooted to get the full init for you I noticed these in > dmesg: > > ivtv0: All encoder MPG stream buffers are full.

The ivtv driver assigns a buffer where it stores the mpeg data. When this buffer is full it drops the oldest data. The reason usually is that the application is not reading fast enough. > Not sure if it's related or not....

The version included in there is pretty old. And if I am not mistaken much has improved in this area in kernel 2.6.24 and later. So if you have a newer kernel in the updates then it is useful to try it out. > ivtv0: Initializing card #0 > ivtv0: Autodetected Hauppauge card (cx23415 based) > ivtv0: Unreasonably low latency timer, setting to 64 (was 32) You can play with the pci latency and try to fix ivtv dropping data. Check this post [1] for some details. The rest of the init looks fine. > Hardware setup is /dev/video0 = pvr-350 video1 and video2 are pvr-150s, > the box is a knoppmyth system from last year about this time though no > (or minimal) packages upgraded on it.

Ok so the pvr-150 on ivtv2 is having dma timeouts. This was a know issue very likely fixed in a later kernel. If you feel up to it you can try the latest and greatest from V4L/DVB. This involves compiling kernel modules [2] for your running kernel.
