I was working on setting up a hvr-1600 today with svideo/audio capturing to mpeg for mythv from a SA4250HD. Everything went great except for the video skipping issue that I could not get rid of. I was very happy to find this thread and I am extremely glad to see that a fix might be right around the corner for this. I would of picked up a pvr-250, if they were easier to find, but I heard that this card would work. (it does, except for that one glitch). I am awaiting directions to try out your patch when it shows up. If you need me to run a test on it, it might take me a few days, but I can get it for you. FYI, it's running a M3N78 Pro motherboard, quadcore,4gb of ram w/ HDMI video & audio out. -Mark
