Explanantion received yesterday from danielk: -------------- I believe this is normal with your device. MythTV doesn't know ahead of time that your card can't filter the number of streams needed, so it opens as many as possible until it gets that error. What happens then is that every couple seconds it closes a pid that it wants to listen to and opens another it wants to listen to, it does this in a round-robin fashion so that it has a relatively up to date view of the metadata in the stream. The fix referred to in the [10946] changeset makes sure that it gives the current audio and video streams priority over other streams, and attempts to always record them. The error message you are seeing should be suppressed, but doesn't indicate any real error in the recording. The worst that will happen with 24 streams is that channel changing will be a little slow and potentially you won't be able to record MHEG or other interactive television programs. Regular TV and DVB Radio should work fine. ----------- So it's a 'feature'. Recordings and online programme guide are fine. Sincere thanks for the suggestions.
