Okay, changed my setup a bit. I've gotten 2 pinnacle HDTV pci cards  
and threw them in the masterbackend. I have a hauppage bt878 card in  
my slave backend. I haven't gotten the pinnacle cards working yet, so  
I've been just recording off the slave backend, that's a driver/ 
kernel issue I think, troubleshooting on the v4l mailing list (or at  
least asking for help, they don't seem to be of much use yet). Both  
systems are running the latest updates of openSUSE 10.3. Myth 0.21  
packages from pacman. The slave backend/main frontend is a 2.8ghz P4- 
HT cpu, also a gig of ram, and a nvidia GF4 5200. I took the matrox  
card out of the backend, and am running on the on-board intel 845g  
graphics.

So, all my recordings since the update are all weirding out.  
Specifically, when I play them, they start out going okay, and within  
a few seconds it'll start playing at like 10x with the audio speeded  
up way past chipmunk speed. This doesn't *appear* to be happening  
when we watch live tv.

I was going to just solve the problem by putting HD cards in. I got  
the pinnacle HDTV (800i?) cards on recommendation, and am having some  
driver problems with them. When I scan channels, it locks up the  
card. This also happens when I attempt to tune a channel with azap. I  
have put one of the cards in a windows machine to verify that it  
wasn't my aerial. The windows drivers scan all the stations I  
expected to get, and have 100% signal (according to the software).

So, who can fix one of, or both my problems.
