Somtimes the flickering is more and even the tv stops for a while and sound and video become asynchronous, sometimes it is less. I got the advice to get more cache memory or reduce the image size? How should I do this. Another hint might be that WintTV-HVR-1100 chip use was changed this year internally named WnTV-HVR-1110 The software-changes in linuxtv were made in November/December this year. Maybe it was not totally tested. Should I reduce the system load of other application like mlnet?
