I have a problem where live TV playback is extermely jittery especially when watching e.g. sports. I have checked my settings with hdparm:
Code:
/dev/hda:
multcount = 16 (on)
IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit)
unmaskirq = 0 (off)
using_dma = 1 (on)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 256 (on)
geometry = 24321/255/63, sectors = 200049647616, start = 0
and the CPU load is very low at the moment (max 5%) while recording. I have a Technotrend DVB-C card.
Having recently done a fresh install of Knoppmyth R5C7 (I previously played around with R5B7), I found out that I cannot get spdif working properly. It worked fine with R5B7 but now with R5C7 the output is extermely distorted. I get the following output when playing using mplayer:
Code:

Not sure quite to intepret the above but seems like something is not quite right?
