[mythtv-users] Problems with Hauppauge Nova-TD Dual Channel Diversity USB Stick (aka Elgato TD Diversity)

[Another Sillyname]

This bug certainly looks like it could be a candidate, I'll check the
logs later and try the femon workaround to see what happens.

Is there anyone on the list currently still using the Hauppauge USB
NOVA-TD Dual Input Diversity Stick?

Have you installed it recently into a new build or got where you are
from an upgrade path?

Regards
