My Dad has a PCI Nebula DigiTV card, which gives the following problem in Windows and Linux:
When using the IDE disk and watching TV, there is no problem. When using either of the SATA disks heavily however, the TV becomes unwatchable and exhibits the symptoms described above. I have always but this down to a conflict between the SATA controller and the DigiTV card - possibly and IRQ conflict but don't hold me to that. Sorry that I can't provide exact specs for the hardware at the moment (I am at work and I am not quite sad enough to remember all the specs for his machine) but I *THINK* it is a Gigabyte motherboard with both a VIA and a Promise SATA controller. I am not sure which SATA controller gives the problem, but it is only one of them. Machine is a socket 739 AMD64 3000+ with 2 x 512Mb RAM. -- Rob Lesslie -- [email protected] mailing list
