I used the atrpms firmware without problems for quite a while when I only had a pair of PVR-250s. When I added a PVR-500, ivtv wouldn't record any sound on the tuners in the -500 and I kinda remember it having problems changing channels. Switching to the ivtv-list approved firmware cleared up all my problems. I've been meaning to send a note to that effect to the atrpms users list ever since I diagnosed my problem, but I'm a lame-ass and haven't gotten around to it. I guess there is no time like the present. -William _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
