Hi Gibble ,
I didn't notice this earlier, Quote: /dev/hda1 4820232 4576212 0 100% / and assuming this IS the root, I am suprised it allows a login?

Hi,
You may want to check the dma for the harddrive is turned on, you will have do a search for it as I don't have that link handy. Check tjc's posts as I think he listed the command.

Hi,
Either you have a very small root partition or a lot of junk  Only time I have to clean the root is if I forget to save e-mail attachments properly, and I have a lot of "extra" stuff with the default / size ~5gig. Those images of the grandkids need to go into the gallery so all the family can enjoy them.
Ok, going back to the original problem, take a moment and reflect back to figure out what was changed, added, deleted that now causes your playback issue. First, are you sure it it ever worked properly?
Mike

Well I'm reading back to the my first topic about this problem
http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=11286
And it appears like it probably wasn't all working perfectly before the second tuner, and I just hadn't watched enough channels to realize it. (The problem happens more on some channels/shows, than others) I installed the second card days after the initial build.
All that's changed is what is outlined in this topic and the prior one.

Hi,
One thing that is sort of important, hardware
What exactly are you running? moboard, cpu, memory, video, hd ? All we know is you have two 150 cards and not much space on the / partition.
Also check the tier 1, 2, & 3 to see if your stuff falls on any of those lists, either good or bad.
Mike

I believe I posted this allready at the start of the thread, but none the less here it is...
Intel P3-667
MSI K7T Turbo (Limited Edition) Motherboard
512 MB ram

Hi,
Sorry, yes you did however I missed it when I went looking for it. The 667mhz is real close to the edge for the cpu to decode an mpg stream. A pre-record play back should just make it or if you stream from /myth/pretty to a M$ with vlc that should be good.
I have a 400mhz using a 350 and that is about the low limit as if I do too much with the extra stuff it will seem to hog the drive for a moment to long and may make glitch but the 350 is hardware decoded.
Thanks, hope that helps.
Mike

It's not the decoding that's the problem...as far as I can tell. Since copying a recording to my M$ box and playing it with VLC still has the problem. So I know it's in the recording.
I just can't figure out what it is that's screwing up the recordings...I don't know if it's the cards reading the stations wrong (not quite the right frequency, but close) or if it's a driver, or what!

Hi,
It is perplexing to say the least. You did say way back[quote] I'm having problems getting good reception,[/quote] if the signal isn't clean enough that could cause random glitches.
Also as tjc mentioned about the dma isn't fast enough that also can cause problems but I have yet to run in to that problem. There are some speed tests that are posted on the forum, unfortunetly the stuff you seek is evasive sometimes. One thing to check is dma turned on.
The record from a 150 is the same as 250 & 350 and is encoded on the card as an mpg stream going straight to the drive. You need very little cpu power. The 667 mhz could be marginal for play back. Anything unique about the drive?
You are correct in assuming that if it plays back bad using vlc that is probably a bad recording. When you play it using vlc, do you copy it over first or play across the network via samba? Either should work.
You could try a recording using a vcr in on ch3 (rf) or set it up for composite then you remove the signal variable.
Just some ideas to play with.
Mike

I said it was reception way back, because that's what it appeared to be...
If there was an app I could just trim a portion out of a recording to show the problem that would probably help...know of anything?

Ok, I'm going to try a couple things.
1st, I'm going to try finetuning the channels, to determine if maybe they just aren't quite getting the correct frequency.
2nd, if that doesn't work, I'm going to use one of the pvr150s and setup a second machine with R5D1 and see if I have better luck with that.

Heh, now all I need is a few hours span where I'm home, not busy working, AND nothing is recording.
...I should have this done by 2007...maybe

Ok.
Fresh Install of RBD1 on a 160GB drive...
Two PVR150 cards.
Upped the CPU to an 866mhz chip I found.
Now using an ABIT-VL6 motherboard.
w/512mb RAM
Same FX5200 video card.
PVR Card #0 works perfectly. No flickering.
PVR Card #1 is just static...and the tuner type will not set.
I upgraded to ivtv 0.7.1 which seemed to work.
Same issues on both cards.
added options tuner type = 4 the modprobe.conf
Code: alias ra0 rt2400
alias rausb0 rt2570
options ivtv tuner=50
The output of the logs is Code: Oct 25 18:05:54 mythtv kernel: ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ====================
