I had the same problems. I didn't notice that the picture flickering (do you get big patches of mostly green garbage?) was triggered by channel changes, but that could well be the case. I noticed the bad sync too. It seemed to start off slightly out of sync and get worse the longer I left it running, but I haven't confirmed that. I'm using HDMI audio, you'd think the video and sound clocks would therefore be derived from the same clock on the NVidia chip and it should be easier to avoid loss of sync :-(. -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
