Update: after removing one of the pchdtv cards and the wintv 401 card I'm still experiencing the same lock ups. So I think the lockups are probably not due to a conflict between cards, but rather some problem in the pchdtv driver or something.
Has anybody here gotten one of these pchdtv cards working? Thanks, Carl On 8/26/06, Carl Youngblood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I'm trying to set up a MythTV box on Ubuntu Dapper Drake. I've got two pcHDTV 5500 cards and one WinTV 401 card (mainly for its IR remote). I can get channels on the pcHDTV cards and record the mpeg streams to disk. Before I installed the pcHDTV cards I could also watch analog TV with the WinTV 401 card with tvtime. Now when I try to load tvtime or xine-hd or mplayer to try to play an mpeg stream or watch TV they cause my system to lock up. Sometimes I can still move the mouse around, and sometimes I see a window blank out as if it's trying to update, and there is often still disk activity, but otherwise the system is completely unresponsive and requires a hard reset. I think that there is some conflict between the analog devices on the pcHDTV cards and the wintv 401, but I have no idea how to diagnose the problem. I have a good amount of linux experience but not with drivers and hardware. Any suggestions? Thanks, Carl
