Well, none of that worked. I'm leaning toward a complete reinstall of MythDora 20.2 because of this and other problems. There is simply no way that a tested machine with twice the CPU power and memory should stutter on three PVR-x50 cards when my old, feeble machine worked well with two.
Unless there is an unreported conflict between PVR-250s and PVR-150s.
