I lost my temper with crashes with dxr3, and now I have DVB-S FF (Technotrend 1.3) to be used as output only. Here are pros and cons: + display is not getting messed with OSD/mp3 plugin + no more hard crashes where conputer needs reset. VDR watchdog takes care - Jammed and killed by watchdog all the time. I had problems with DXR3, but now usability is worse. After pressing back from viewing recoderd program 50% it gets jammed and watchdog restart. There was recording running at the same time, and also noad running (with nice). - Picture, all colors are too bright. I need to adjust brigtness, color and contrast (and still not happy). I suppose this would need some module parameter, but did not had time to study this far. - After boot vdr thinks volume is 0, and when I start adjusting volume, for 0.5s it is FULL, then it gets to where it should be. My system is P350, 224M memory, vdr 1.3.23, 2.4 kernel, dvb-kernel drivers from CVS ~2 weeks ago (needed CVS version for Airstar2) I was expecting to get stable usable system by getting FF card, but no way. Any ideas what might the problem be: - Too slow CPU - 2.4 kernel, everybody uses 2.6 ? - Using DVB-S as output only is bad idea - Bad HW (computer or DVB-FF) - Bad DVB driver version - Bad VDR version - Bad luck - Nothing broken, this is the way it is for everybody. I should use more M$-products to get to used crashes -- M. Tavasti / tavasti@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx / +358-40-5078254
