Check on the Mythtv forums (and post the question there), if you haven't already. They may have a bit more insight into the card with their system. And they may be able to sort out the lack of picture (even though it's not on their software). 2. If you can allocate a lower percentage of processor and/or memory to the Xen VM, that may solve part of the problem. My theory is that Xen is using too much of the CPU and/or memory right now, and everything else has to fight for what's left. Which means that when you try using the card, it's basically getting scraps. So it times out and can't scan. That's why it works (better at least) when Xen is off. If you can't allocate lower percentages, then maybe trying Virtualbox or VMWare would work. But, I would see what all you can do with Xen first. Have a great weekend. :) Patrick. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk6+i3AACgkQMp6rvjb3CASrAACfW67fWDTETYRu6kQg/rRnxM14 53AAn3C3MMkFZaKcdGn+IUE9EGuuwBkn =p/K3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
