Hello, I am the one who published script which can crash computer in 20 - 30 minutes if you experience stability issues with ivtv. I tried my PVR 350 with intel 815, i875p and AMD 8111. They all crash with two different 350 cards. Gregor Fuis _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
