I do have these lines in modprobe.conf:
# ivtv modules setup
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias char-major-81-1 ivtv
Do I not need these?!
About checking that I'm recording at full frame size...I'm a little
lost there. I'm basically not touching any recording profile settings
in myth before attempting to record programs when the card fails. I
thought the defaults would work fine. Another thing to remember is
that my other card works just fine with whatever settings I have
setup, including whats in modprobe.conf.
I mentioned it at the bottom of my original e-mail about how when I
set these cards up a few years go, I had to use different options in
modprobe.conf for the cards despite them being identical. I can't
help but wonder if that is somehow related to my current problem.
