I've been seeing this as well. I did a search on the forum, and found
similar problems that seemed to be fixed by doing an error check on
the mythconverg database, and then re-commercial flagging the shows.
After doing all that, my problem did not go away, so I'm very curious
to see what may fix this, as it has essentially broken the commercial
flagging. BTW, I get variation now anywhere from 30 min to 1 1/2 hrs
for a 1 hr show.

Re: Tuner will only record one channel (was Re: [mythtv-users] Re: No sound after apt-get upgrade)
I think I've tracked this down, but if anybody can confirm that my theory is right, or have any suggestions, I'd appreciate it. This afternoon, while I was busy trying to get my sound working, I rebooted my computer while my wife had a show scheduled to record. That show was on channel 51. This evening, trying to track down the problem, I switched the priorities between my two cards, forcing myth to record off of card 0, instead of 1. When it is recording off card 0, live tv is playing through card 1. In live tv on card 1, when I change the channel, I still only see what is on channel 51. Is my tuner card broken? Or could something else be causing this?

Tuner will only record one channel (was Re: [mythtv-users] Re: No sound after apt-get upgrade)
Adding alias msp3400 msp3400-ivtv to my /etc/modules.conf now seems to give me sound all the time, so I'm almost back to a perfect state for my system. The only problem I have left is that no matter what channel I set the system to record, it only records channel 51. I've tried several different channels now, and no matter what, it's always the same channel. Any thoughts?

Re: [mythtv-users] Re: No sound after apt-get upgrade
Well, I fixed the sound problem that was system wide, and now have sound both out of mythtv and in it. Unfortunately, the sound isn't always there in live tv, though changing channels seems to reassert the sound on the stream. I haven't had a chance to try the msp3400-ivtv fix yet, but I will post after I have a chance to do that. One strange thing I've noticed though...since upgrading, all the test recordings I've done have recorded channel 51, no matter what channel I'm trying to record. This also seems to have started with my upgrade last night. Any ideas?

[mythtv-users] No sound after apt-get upgrade
I've been using my system for a few months now. After finally fixing the video quality, the recordings timing got goofy on me. An hour long show recorded would show that it was an hour and a half or longer...but actually play the hour (less commercials : ) So I figured before mailing the list, I'd make sure everything was upgraded and give it a reboot. Now, I suddenly have no sound!!! I'm pretty sure its a config that got screwed up somewhere, but I don't know where to look. Recordings and live tv have the same problem, even recordings that were made previously that i've seen with sound!!! Please help!! Let me know what I should post info wise here, and I'll be more than happy to. System is FC1, running 2 PVR-250's, and lots of old hardware, but it all worked before!!

[mythtv-users] Happy...but picture is grainy
I built my first myth system this past summer. It really is the greatest thing since sliced bread...don't know how we lived with commercials until now!!! Now that my wife and I are getting used to it, thought, we've noticed that the picture quality isn't *quite* the same as live tv. I've tried increasing the resolutions in setup, but it doesn't seem to change the slightly grainy appearance of the tv. Any thoughts?
