I forgot to mention above that once the card is able to get a lock, it continues to work correctly until I reboot the machine. As I type this, I am viewing an mpeg stream.... The machine has been left powered on for the past 36 hours or so...maybe longer. This confirms that my intermittent problem is NOT a heating issue, (and the fact the i dont have the problem in windows). Attached is output from mplayer..... Maybe this can help to explain my situation where the ts stream lasts for a short time. On some channels I can get a stream lasting many minutes, and on other channels, the stream only holds for a few seconds..... I have gotten better results using xine, but I figured posting this output could help to explain my situation. I thought this might have been a mplayer problem, but proved myself wrong when I fed mplayer a saved HD .ts stream that I captured from the windows software. It worked perfectly with no such errors as below: -- Michael Krufky -------------- next part -------------- MPlayer 1.0pre6-3.3.5-20050130 (C) 2000-2004 MPlayer Team CPU: Intel Pentium 4/Xeon/Celeron Foster (Family: 8, Stepping: 9) Detected cache-line size is 64 bytes MMX2 supported but disabled CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 0 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX SSE SSE2 Warning unknown option cache_min at line 144 Warning unknown option cache_prefill at line 147 77 audio & 189 video codecs Linux RTC init error in ioctl (rtc_irqp_set 1024): Permission denied Try adding "echo 1024 > /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq" to your system startup scripts.
