As something that may be worthwhile, you might also wish to try

1. removing all but one capture card from your system (PVR-150 or
HVR-1600 doesn't matter at the moment), and see how well that one card
performs.  Make sure it is away from any disk controller or video
graphics cards.  (Trying to reduce EMI inside the PC case.)

You might also want to disconnect the coaxial cables and just use a
composite or SVideo source for the test.  (Trying to eliminate any
ground loops.)

I'm just guessing that the PVR-150 problems you described may have been
caused by EMI or a grounding problem.

Not really.  Since the CX23418 uses YUV (YCrCb) as an intermediate
format before MPEG encoding, a memory region filled with 00 00 00 as YUV
values would end up as dark green (I think).


The red screen is definitely a bad symptom though.

Nope.  Don't bother.
