Did you get any response to this? I'm having the exact same problem with firewire and HDTV.<br><br>Thanks<br><br>-Nik-<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 10/31/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Matt Goebel</b> <<a href="mailto:matt@goebelnet.com">

<br>to a DCT-6200 cable box. It would record one show or allow me to watch<br>live TV once before the "tuner" would stop working and I'd have to do a<br>full reboot to get it working again. I was also seeing a lot of
<br>choppiness given the hardware I have. Attempting to fix all that I<br>swapped the NEC based firewire card out for one with the TI chipset.<br>Now it records without missing anything and the quality is much better<br>
(still not 100% perfect but up there). The new issue is that live TV<br>doesn't work with that tuner! Other tuners have priority for recording<br>unless the show is in HD (or on a digital cable channel). I obviously
<br>want to watch everything in HD then available so that card is the first<br>on the list for live TV. So when I go into live TV it almost always<br>attemps to use the firewire tuner, the screen goes black for ~10 secs,
<br>then it drops me back into the main menu. It doesn't let me switch to<br>another tuner etc.. either making live TV useless. I could reorganize<br>the turner numbers to work around this but that's no fix. Any ideas on
<br>how I can get this working?<br>_______________________________________________<br>mythtv-users mailing list<br><a href="mailto:mythtv-users@mythtv.org">mythtv-users@mythtv.org</a><br><a href="http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users">
