I have been trying for some time to get freecom dvb-t usb sticks to work on my server, so I could set up a mythtv backend. At least tonight I finally managed to get a mythtv frontend working with it, so I could see the actual picture. I am near Crystal Palace in the UK, with a loft aerial, so I would have suspected a reasonably strong signal. I am sharing the feed with a Panasonic PVR, and that is working perfectly. I have built the dvb drivers from the latest (of two days ago) mercurial repository Some issues - I get regular failures in the log like the following. This is with a single stick plugged in, watching BBC ONE apparently perfectly. Reading the code, it implies I am getting USB protocol problems. What could caused that?
