[mythtv] [PATCH] pcHDTV - Rewrite PIDs in PMT and PAT tables ofrecorded streams

[Jason Schloer]

Well, I finally made a little headway with it last night. Seems it was
doing a setmode in the patched driver whether the card was a pcHDTV card
or not. I put a conditional check for has_dtv before that and could
actually watch some TV on the old card with myth. It did crash a bit
more than it used too though. Channel changes in particular. I'm going
to try to track down anything else I can that's similar and update as
needed. I'm hoping to have a new bttv patch for the 2.4.22 kernel
tonight. I still need to check that the pchdtv itself is working as
well, but for now I'm just happy with getting my Standard card to work
with the HD driver.

I'm having the same problem.

Since my pchdtv card has been installed, my Hauppauge cards are
broken in myth.

Although, I can use any of the 3 cards, either with xine or xawtv
calling -device /dev/video[1,2] etc.


Any ideas?
