I recently upgraded my MythTV systems (2 backends, 5 frontends) to 0.25 from 0.24-fixes. Previously I was using a mix of various Debian and Ubuntu versions, for the upgrade I installed Mythbuntu 12.04 on all frontends and Ubuntu server on the backends. Since the upgrade I have been having several problems, I am posting this in the hope someone will recognize some of these symptoms and recommend fixes/workarounds.<br>
<br>1. HDPVR. I am currently using a HDPVR hooked up to a DirecTV HD box. I am using http for channel changes, the HDPVR is not using the blaster. Video is through component cables, audio is analog through the RCA jacks. Since the upgrade the HDPVR has been extremely unstable. Prior to the upgrade, I had very few problems - the device has frozen maybe 2-3 times in the past few years. Since the upgrade the HDPVR is freezing up daily. When it does this it takes the whole USB bus down and so I lose channel changing on my other 2 directv boxes (which use USB->Serial adapters to change the channel). Has anyone else seen this behavior on Ubuntu 12.04? This would seem to point to a driver issue since I didn't update the firmware on the device as part of the upgrade, the only thing that changed was the OS and MythTV version.<br>

<div><br></div><div>In addition to locking up the USB bus, I was only able to get things back to normal with a complete power off. A simply reboot didn't fix the problem. It also seemed to cause problems with 2 PVR-250s that were in the same box, but that could have just been a backend lockup because of the HDPVR.</div>
<div><br></div><div>We're pretty serious about TV in my house and I got tired of having to fix things daily. I ended up getting rid of my HDPVR and bought a HDHR3CC tuner and haven't had any problems since.</div>
