[mythtv-users] HDPVR severe stuttering 'Storage to Buffer' drops to nothing

[Gerald Brandt]

Hi,

I'm running 0.27 fixes (Mythbuntu).  A month or so ago, I sent an email 
to the list where I tried to figure out why my dual HDPVR/DC6200 system 
was suddenly giving severe dropouts and stutters in video (live tv and 
recordings).  The system had been running for years flawlessly.

The first thing I did was replace the power supplies on the HDPVR's.  I 
finally got them in last week, and there were no changes.

I then stopped using digital audio and went to a couple of RCA cables.  
My issues dropped dramatically, for awhile.  Now the problem is back.

Watching the playback info, the Storage to Buffer value becomes a dash 
'-'.  Shortly after, it comes back and the Buffer to decoder goes to 
nothing.  This results in up to a 20 second loss of video, and a stutter 
on audio.

I really have no idea what is going on.  Any and all help would be 
appreciated.

Gerald
