IVTV has been in the kernel for awhile now so I may not be <br>> setting things up correctly even though I have tried to follow the <br>> wiki. Thanks for any help you can provide.<br>> <br>> <br><pre>I, too, will be interested in a resolution to this problem as I am having a similar issue myself.<br> <br>My set up is two pvr-150 cards. Sometimes when I try to change channels I just get a blank, black screen and mythfrontend freezes up completely (doesn't happen every time, though - probably about every third time). Even the 'stop unresponsive program' utility doesn't close mythfrontend properly, because if I then try to reboot I get the 'shutdown error' message due to mythfrontend still running! If I click the 'shutdown anyway' option and reboot, then restart mythfrontend and choose 'Live TV' I then get the "video frame buffering failed too many times" error.<br> <br>The only way to clear the problem is to stop then restart the backend.<br> <br>Glad to here that you don't have the problem with HDHR as I am planning on getting one of those in anticipation of our analogue service being turned off next year. </pre><br></div> </div></body>
