[mythtv-users] BTTV errors

[steve at nexusuk.org]

I posted this a while ago and didn't get many reples, so I'll try again 
and see if anyone has any ideas. :)

I'm running Linux 2.4.24 with the ck1 patch (preempt / lowlatency) and 
BTTV 0.9.12.  I keep getting errors like:

Feb  3 12:00:04 myth kernel: bttv0: SCERR @ 0d8a7014,bits: HSYNC OFLOW 
SCERR*
Feb  3 14:40:04 myth kernel: bttv0: SCERR @ 0d8a7014,bits: HSYNC OFLOW 
SCERR*

And the hue of the video gets shifted a bit so everything looks a little 
too green.  This only ever happens right when Myth starts recording (never 
part way through a show), and the next time Myth changes channel it seems 
to correct itself, and it doesn't always happen.  Other than the colours 
being wrong, the video is absolutely fine.

I originally associated the problem with LIRC turning off all the 
interrupts while sending the IR signals to my decoder (so causing the bttv 
driver to lose interrupts), but I recently hacked my lirc driver so it 
nolonger disables interrupts and this problem is still happening.

Has anyone got any ideas what it might be?  Is there actually a BTTV 
mailing list anywhere (I've not been able to find one so far)?

The same errors appeared with the 0.8 driver that's in the vanilla 2.4.24 
kernel, but they were slightly more terminal, with the complete loss of 
the TV picture as it defaulted back to the tuner input (I use S-Video).
