Hi Andy, I've also been testing ATSC since the weekend, and I can comment on the following:

This is probably just a user-space > and user problem. I have similar errors with mplayer and liba52 CRC. Earlier today the stream would stay up almost no matter what I did at the same time. I was able to resize the window and run other apps. Later today, I ran into problems after getting my ATI card running with the open-source drivers, the HVR-1600/cx18 wouldn't start (had an eeprom error, claiming that my firmware was corrupt). I got the card to start up again, but it's glitchy. > > 3. I haven't setup MythTV yet to use the ATSC portion of the card.

Running both analog and digital is buggy, and probably won't stay online for much more than a minute. I tested the analog with both the tuner, and S-Video inputs.
