I've run into the same problem, although I've had it for a bit longer. There's a workaround from a couple of years ago that you can find here: http://ivtvdriver.org/pipermail/ivtv-users/2007-June/006626.html In my case that has been okay because I'm not particularly CPU limited on my backend, but on an older system the extra CPU usage might be too much. It also means I have to remember to recompile and reinstall the driver every time there is a kernel update (also on Ubuntu 9.10). However, I've been too busy fighting with Myth .22 to pursue problems that aren't immediately causing me grief, which is why I haven't mentioned it until now. I had assumed it was my HVR-1600 that was causing this since, like yours, my PVR-150 has been rock solid pretty much since I got it, but it's possible that was the culprit in my case as well. I'll have to check next time it happens. -Ben _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
