Let me try to break it down. First off, the QAM64 patches that Frank provided have not been merged it. It's on my todo list. Has the MythTV situation gotten *worse* with this code compared to the current v4l-dvb tip? It would not surprise me if there are some general MythTV issues with the 950q (I am in the process of building a MythTV box so I can test/debug). However, I would be surprised if there were *new* issues. I do know that mkrufky was mentioning there was some sort of way to tell MythTV about hybrid devices, so that the application doesn't try to use both the analog and digital at the same time - and if you didn't do that then this could explain your issue. Regarding the mplayer issue, please try this: <unplug the 950q> cd v4l-dvb make unload modprobe xc5000 no_poweroff=1 <plug in the 950q> ... and then see if mplayer still has issues. This might be somehow related to the firmware having to be reloaded taking too long for mplayer (the firmware has to be reloaded when the chip is woken up after being powered down). Devin -- Devin J.
