[mythtv-users] truncated recordings

[rick bradshaw]

Hey guys,
    I am having pretty much the same problem with myth .14 from debian
unstable and I am not using the ivtv card. I am using the straight up
old bttv card. This is really ruining my wife opinion of myth. It is
to the point now after a week or 2 of this problem she is saying stuff
about, dare I say it " Windows Media Edition ". Maybe this is
something we should start posting on the devel list instead.
