[mythtv-users] Fedora Core/Jarod's Guide/ pcHDTV (HD-2000) card

[John Sturgeon]

Hey Erick,

Thanks for the reply, I too reverted to the 2.4.22-1.2174.nptl kernel 
and all is (almost) fine.  Now I'm dealing with a lovely screetching 
sound instead of regular audio, and video that plays at about 50% speed 
on a couple channels, but hey, one thing at a time right?
