Gents, Could you please try the attached patch to the cx18 driver to not load the firmware twice? Things to expect: 1. The first analog capture shouldn't have problems 2. If you unload and reload the cx18 driver, the digital TS will *not* work until you unload and reload the cx18 driver *another* time 3. *Hopefully* your audio skips will disappear. 4. You will likely still need buffered playback, either with MythTV or mplayer -cache blah blah blah...
