I would fix all of them. Myth has a habit of hanging on a channel that's not working when using the up/down keys. It then remembers this last (broken) channel and wants to start there next time, regardless of what's in the startchan field. ... > > Well, I am at least getting a picture, but it is unwatchable :( The > sound is nothing but static, and the picture is very choppy.

With Gentoo, I just set USE="xvmc"; I don't know how the rpms are built. With hardware decoding, my athlon xp 3200+ runs at 38%. Without, it runs at about 95% and exhibits a lot of dropped frames. However, my friend has a standalone HDTV with a built-in tuner, and often gets dropouts and digital artifacts. He believes that the networks haven't worked out all the bugs yet. Weak signals will give similar problems. Richard. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
