I have a fairly new HVR-1600 which I have seen fail quite a number of times now when it's asked to record more than one channel on a clearqam multiplex. This time it was 3 recordings at once. There's nothing at all in the kernel ring buffer, just mythtv reports a failed recording. Usually one of the files being recorded to will only be 376 bytes long and the rest will be 0 bytes. I am running ubuntu's 3.2.0-27-generic kernel with what looks like a 1.5.1 cx18 driver. The card is either a: 14f1:5b7a Conexant Systems, Inc. CX23418 Single-Chip MPEG-2 Encoder with Integrated Analog Video/Broadcast Audio Decoder or a: 4444:0016 Internext Compression Inc iTVC16 (CX23416) Video Decoder (rev 01) Sorry. I don't recall which is which any more. But I really need to figure this out since failed recordings is causing all kinds of disappointment around here. I'm really at the end of my rope with it. Tomorrow morning I am going to demote this card to secondary duty and promote my HVR-950Q to primary duty since I never had this kind of grief with it. But even in secondary duty, it could very well be called upon to record multiple clearqam channels simultaneously so I would really like to get this figured out. Any ideas? Cheers, b.
