 A quick test (three simultaneous half-hour recordings) shows great
 improvement on my openSUSE 12.1 system, using the most current MythTV from
 Packman.  Prior to setting net.core.rmem_max=1048576, I would lose several
 minutes of the recordings with this test.  After setting it, I didn't
 notice any loss.

 Here are some specifics of what I'm running:
