I think I'm getting closer to making this work but running into a problem right now.

I'm using HD-3000 with R5A22 and I get only one HD OTA channel with decent reception...which makes sense because I'm building the machine in my basement.

However, when I did the channel scan during the setup, Myth found 5-7 channels with "decent" signals. Hence, when I try to switch from the good channel to one that is weak, my screen goes blank and after about 6 minutes, it retuns a message "Error was encountered while displaying video". When it's blank, I can't switch the channel or anything. The only way I know to get the screen back is to enter a term screen, kill the frontend and restart myth. This seems very tedious.

Is there anything I can configure so that when Myth encounters a weak signal it does not freeze my screen?

This seems to be a driver issue. We'll need to wait on a fix from the folks who maintain DVB.

I read somewhere that the freezing can be caused by a corrupt mpeg file when a channel has a bad reception. The proposed solution was to kill the frontend and re-start.

My guess is that bad reception can be a common problem and others have the same issues. It's hard for me to grasp that everyone will go through the pain of manually handling the problem when it occurs.

Did anyone try the new driver and noticed that the problem went away? (If so, can you share the steps)

Are there any other options to handle this problem?
