Hi again,

So I went back to 2.6.39 and it seems to be tuning correctly, but Myth
is not able to fetch any data from dvr0.  So in the case of watching
live TV the frontend times out waiting for data and when recording the
file grows to about 370 bytes and that is it.

Does anyone have some hints on how to troubleshoot this kind of issue?

Thanks,
Mark
