[mythtv-users] empty nuv files and "busy" PVR-350 tuner

[Andrew Plumb]

Hi John,

Yup, it's an Epia M10K board.  Since my previous problems appeared to
be bios-setting related, this could be as well...

Anyone else?  Looks like we (the group) need to share some known good
bios settings for Epia+PVR-*50 combos....

Thanks!

Andrew.
