Hi Barry,
I've been using TS mode for over a week now and haven't had the
problems I was originally describing with PS mode. So I guess for me,
the solution was to go to TS mode, which is not an option for you
unfortunately.
I'm also in Australia, so maybe what I was seeing was exactly as you
described, when a glitch in the stream occurs it switches audio tracks,
which happens to be empty.
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, but I thought you might want to know
if TS mode helped anyway.

Hi Nick, I have the same problems to you, albeit occassionally and for
some reason late at night. I record using PS mode because I view all
recordings through my Pinnacle Showcenter, so TS mode is not an
option. During PS recordings all audio tracks are recorded I believe
so sometimes it's possible to switch audio tracks as discussed here.
Unfortunately for me some channels in Australia i.e. Channel 7 in
Sydney one audio channel is silent hence when a glitch happens the
primary audio disappears and I don't get anything at all.
My wife loves Myth and now can't live without it but this one problem
is causing some heartaches especiallly when its one of her favourite
shows.
I am in the process of rewiring my antenna using quad RG6 and amps
hoping to get much better (>75%) signal strength according to Myth
scans and testing the latest CVS.
Anyone know if this is still a problem in the current CVS and what I
can expect if I do the rewiring? Nick if you find a solution like to
hear from you.
Thanks,
Barry.

Hi All,
I have a Pentium 4 celeron 2.4Ghz system with 512mb ram running
Fedora 3
and Myth 0.18.1. I have a PVR-250MCE recording via s-video from an
external cable tuner, and a KWorld V-Stream Xpert DVB-T connected to
an
external antenna (via a signal booster) recording terrestrial digital
channels. I'm running a custom compiled 2.6.11.11 kernel patched with
drivers from video4linux. TV-out is via svideo from an Nvidia 5200,
and
audio is using a SBLive value through the digital output to an
amplifier.
Its all working great except for one thing. On the DVB recordings, on
occasion the picture and sound will break up for a second at the
most, and
then it'll continue on as normal. I'm guessing its just errors in the
signal, or a low signal strength. However, on a few occasions the
picture
will come back but the audio disappears.
I don't see any errors in the logs, so I'm wondering if anyone else
has
seen this problem and if there's a resolution for it.
This is an example of a capture log from mythbackend, from yesterday's
showing of Dr Phil:
