[mythtv-users] PVR 250 & VIA question

[Cotter, Paul M.]

Is the same true with the PM266 chipset?  I have one and I've been able to capture a single one-hour show, but maybe I got lucky.

    Don't bother.
   
    Its a bugged via chipset.  You'll get crashes on captures every 5-10
    minutes. (Although apparently, the ivtv guys are trying to work around
    this problem in software right now with the latest driver revisions.)
   
    Find a motherboard that does NOT have a VIA K*-133* or K*-266* chipset on
    it.  You'll be a lot happier.
