For about one year, I have been running Mythbuntu 8.10 without problems using a Hauppauge PVR-350 and analog cable TV (germany). Now, I wanted to digitalize some old tapes from my VCR. So ein unplugged the TV cable from the PVR-350 and plugged in the coax cable from the VCR. I started channel scan and created a new channel number 99 for the VCR.<br>
Everything is fine, I can see the video from the VCR in Myth's Live TV Mode and record it by setting up a manual recording. But in those recordings from VCR, sometimes there are lost frames (the picture jumps, and about half a second is missing) or it looks like a time lapse. The VCR and the tapes are ok, because I do not see these problems when the VCR is directly connected to the TV.<br>
When I watch the VCR tape via Myth's Live TV, every 5-6 seconds the picture also hangs for about half a second.<br>This only happens when recording (resp. live watching) from the VCR, there are no problems when recording/watching cable TV. I cannot understand this, as both use the same input on the PVR-350. What is the difference between the cable TV signal and the VCR signal?<br>
<br>Any ideas? Thanks!<br>
