Thanks for the advice... I've already fixed the problem by ignoring FBUS & FDSR errors & adding resync... (Thank's to Manu's suggestion) Now it works very well - even better than it's cx88-based 'Gold' counterpart. Only bug left is the problem where no TS data comes through after using the analog tuner, but I think I know how to fix that in bttv-cards.c ... Mac has given some feedback about this issue as well, and I don't think it will be too difficult to fix. It looks like some GPIO gets written where it shouldn't, and I think all I should need to do is mask it. Today's not the day though... I have that card all set up in a machine that will be recording 2 hour's worth of PRISON BREAK on Fox, starting any minute... Maybe later on tonight, if I have the energy... -- Michael Krufky
