Updated to 1.5rc4 today on the off-chance that the DVB-related work on
mmpython might have helped things, and now it seems to be working
properly again.
Thanks!

Figured it was about time I took a look at 1.5rc3. I've been using
1.4 for ages with no real problems, so wasn't in much of a rush to
upgrade. I use Freevo as an interface for playing audio and video,
not for recording or TV stuff.

A less compute-intensive codec is probably the way to go. You should
be able to save as high-bitrate MPEG-1 or MJPEG or any of a bunch of
other things

Can freevo use the tv-out on these cards for output on tv?
If you're getting a full-featured DVB card, you may wish to take
a look at VDR http://www.cadsoft.de/vdr/. It's specifically meant
for use with DVB cards.
I don't believe that Freevo can currently display to the

Use a faster codec, like MPEG1? The image quality at the same
bitrate isn't usually quite as good, but on the other hand you
ought to be able to get smooth video

DVB cards don't encode anything -- programmes are broadcast already
