No, nothing else is running on the machine. I tried to install only the 
packages which were needed for mythtv.

No, lowering the capture resolution an quality has now effect.

I downloaded the driver from nvidia, installed it and reconfigured my 
video-card. Now tv buckless less than before but it still happens sometimes.

Mythbackend shows some errors:


athlon:~ # mythbackend

Probed: /dev/video - Television

And mythfrontend shows the following:

athlon:~ # mythfrontend

Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV

Your soundcard is not reporting free space correctly.	<--

Falling back to old method...
QTime::fromString: Parameter out of range.
QTime::fromString: Parameter out of range.
Changing from WatchingLiveTV to None

How can I fixt these problems?

Thanks!
