My $.02 is for the last couple weeks with HEAD in CVS 70% of the time when I go to view a show it would lock up after 2-5 seconds, console reporting it's waiting for data from the backend. If I tried to play that stream a second time it would work just fine. With CVS over the weekend it's now about 50% of the time that it fails, but it now takes up to 4 times of attempting to view the show before it works. Another thing that I haven't verified, but I've noticed is if there's quite a bit of network traffic, it fails more often. One other note, just for noting purposes.. I've had card #2 of four pcHDTV cards not recording shows in MythTV.. Not sure if something with dealing with multiple cards or pcHDTV cards was changed in the last week or so, but I can only record one show at a time without problems.. I did change it's priority though to 4, and have since recorded just fine with the others, but /dev/dtvsignal and capturing data from `cat /dev/video33 file` work just fine.. Kind of odd, but I'll get more info out as I find a pattern. --Brandon
