Hi, I previously submitted my hardware details quoting some remaining stability issues. Since then I have however had over a week mythtv uptime. This could be down to one of three reasons. I might not have unloaded the firmware fully from the stick before trying the new one by resetting the machine and not disconnecting it physically (although I thought I had) I have improved my antenna setup, receiving much more consistent signal. I have hidden the device from IR sources as I was also receiving many dmesg entries with dib0700: Unknown remote controller key which have since stopped. Hope this helps iron out any further issues. dh On 1 Oct 2007, at 11:00, linux-dvb-request@xxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > Send linux-dvb mailing list submissions to > linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > linux-dvb-request@xxxxxxxxxxx > > You can reach the person managing the list at > linux-dvb-owner@xxxxxxxxxxx > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of linux-dvb digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
