I am currently running version 22549 with the release0-22-fixes branch.
When I apt-get update/upgrade I do not see any updates for mythtv
(just firefox and kernel headers). Is there another repo besides the
mythbuntu auto builds that I should try to fix the issue?
I also am pretty sure this problem only happens with my HDHR and not
my HD-PVR and I assume it is because the audio track changes to some
variant of surround sound that my machine cannot process easily.
