I, too, have blamed Myth in the past for what turned out to be bad feeds from Cox. However, in this case, straight TV doesn't have the glitches, just the captures. Since Josh Penix originally built and configured this box, I have confidence that DMA etc are OK. My configuration, always suspect, was the addition of 2 PVR-150s and the Myth set up. Hmm ... experience reminds me that strange things can happen if a mysql table needs repair. Perhaps I should shut down (after football) and run a check. -- Lan Barnes SCM Analyst Linux Guy Tcl/Tk Enthusiast Biodiesel Brewer -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
