[mythtv-users] saa7134 card

[Michael Lynch]

OK, I fixed the issue - I set the LiveTV profile to be 720x480 and
that was causing display issues.  Changing down to 620x480 fixed that.

Now to another problem with this card.  The sound is coming in mono
only, left channel.  LiveTV from the master backend comes in stereo.
Any ideas on getting stereo audio from this card?

...For example I long ago decided I will never go to meetings again
because I think face to face meetings are the biggest waste of time
you can ever have. I think most people who work at offices must share
my opinion on meetings. Nothing ever gets done. When things get done,
you usually have someone come into your office to talk about it. But a
lot of the time the real work gets done by people sitting, especially
in programming, alone in front of their computers doing what they do
best.
