[ Correcting my earlier message - sorry, newbie here ] This is a reworking of a patch originally submitted by Ryley Angus, modified by Hans Verkuil and then seemingly forgotten before changes suggested by Keith Pyle here: http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg75163.html were made and tested. I have implemented the suggested changes and have been testing for the last 2 months. I am no longer experiencing lockups while recording (with blue light on, requiring power cycling) which had been a long standing problem with the HD-PVR. I have not noticed any other problems since applying the patch.
