I have yet to figure out why mythtv refuses to cooperate. Seems to me it has something to do with the "cx25840' 1-0044: 0x0000 is not a valid video input!" message.

I tried them all (also ubuntu generics from jaunty which is also 2.6.28-something). Currently I'm running the latest one off your web-site. I also tried 2.6.29-rc8 - no differences. I also disabled lirc as suggested. Aljaz _______________________________________________ pvrusb2 mailing list [email protected] http://www.isely.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pvrusb2
