[mythtv-users] [Fwd: Thanx on the tuner prob- now the "wait 2 sec" problem]

[Tony Maro]

I sent this to the list a bit ago, but never saw it appear, dunno why.  
Anyway, I think I solved the problem.

I changed my audio out from the on-board audio to an SB Live Value and 
it hasn't crashed in 40 minutes , a new record!

I'm currently pulling a network cable through the attic to my 
entertainment center will this will reside... MythTV RAWKS! :-)

Now I just gotta save for a big honkin hard drive.

Thanks for the responses on the tuner shifted by once channel - 
apparently when I was config-ing my new sound card with Alsa it screwed 
up my modules.conf and lost the tuner setting.

So everything's working (and this stuff is AWESOME), but I can't watch 
more than about 5 or 10 minutes of live TV before the frontend freezes 
and shows "Wait 2 seconds"... in the console.

I see from googling that this has come up before but didn't see where 
anyone had come up with a real solution.

Any new info on this? 

Could this be related to not having a live network connection on this 
box currently, despite having weather and news configured?  Doesn't seem 
to be, because it ONLY ever does this while watching live TV, or a 
program currently being recorded, but I haven't sat through an entire 
recorded movie yet, so I can't verify that it won't happen on any playback.

I've got an XP1800+ with an ATI TV Wonder VE and Mandrake 9.2.

When this happens, I've checked running processes and the highest usage 
is mythbackend which is using about 3% processor... not much to speak of.

Thanks
