I apologize for the partial crosspost, but of the two halves of this problem, the DVB one is causing me the most grief. I'm using MythTV to record from an Air2PC card, latest CVS DVB drivers, 2.6.10 kernel, Fedora Core 3. I'm getting audio dropouts, part-way through a recording, which then fail to correct. This leaves me with recordings which have perfect video the entire length, but no audio after the point of no recovery. Closing and re-opening the card re-init's the stream, and the audio returns, which makes me think this is correctable. I have a nice strong signal. I've tried both PS and TS mode, no change. Here's the majority of my other post. ( I realize my logs are from 3/1, but the behavior has not changed) ------------------------- In all cases, either stopping and starting the recording, or leaving and coming back to live TV restored the audio. There were NO detectable video artifacts, breaks, etc, to make me think it might be signal quality related. One dropout, while watching LiveTV, was at 21:46:55, so I'm going to post the logs from then. The audio dropped out after a commercial break, and didn't come back. Exiting to menu, and back to LiveTV restored the audio. I'm going to post back to 21:30 when we started, so you can see the signal strength, that it didn't lose signal, etc. From what I can tell fda0 is a strong signal: 2005-03-01 21:30:51.456 DVB#0 DVB Signal Monitor Stopped 2005-03-01 21:30:55.432 DVB#0 DVB SI Table Parser Started 2005-03-01 21:30:55.433 DVB#0 Using DVB card 0, with frontend Nextwave nxt2002 VSB/QAM frontend. 2005-03-01 21:30:55.435 DVB#0 DVB Signal Monitor Starting 2005-03-01 21:30:55.438 DVB#0 Signal Locked 2005-03-01 21:30:55.878 DVB#0 Signal Lost 2005-03-01 21:30:56.135 DVB#0 Signal Locked 2005-03-01 21:30:56.437 DVB#0 DVB signal fda0 | snr e47e | ber 0 | unc 0 2005-03-01 21:30:56.442 DVB#0 Status: LOCK. 2005-03-01 21:30:56.444 DVB#0 Multiplex Locked 2005-03-01 21:30:57.563 DVB#0 Successfully tuned to channel 15_1. 2005-03-01 21:30:57.569 DVB#0 Recorder: Card opened successfully (using PS mode). 2005-03-01 21:30:57.575 DVB#0 AutoPID selecting PID 49, MPEG-2 Video 2005-03-01 21:30:57.577 DVB#0 AutoPID selecting PID 52, AC3 Audio 2005-03-01 21:30:57.578 DVB#0 AutoPID Complete - PAT/PMT Loaded for service 2005-03-01 21:30:57.583 DVB#0 Service is FTA 2005-03-01 21:30:57.585 DVB#0 Adding pid 49 2005-03-01 21:30:57.586 DVB#0 Adding pid 52 2005-03-01 21:30:57.591 DVB#0 Data read from DMX - This is for debugging with transform.c 2005-03-01 21:39:08.769 DVB#0 WARNING - Transport Stream Continuity Error.
