[mythtv-users] Pixelation Cause

[Michael Wisniewski]

Hi!

I'm running MythTV on a backend, a seperate box for a frontend, and a HDHR
Prime as my tuner.  A few months ago, I was getting pixelation due to
network errors.  I was able to diagnose this by running a hdhr debug
command to print dots (.) to see if it's a network, transport, or something
else.  I figured the NIC on the backend was getting overloaded and dropping
packets.  I added a new NIC and this seem to fix the problems for awhile.

Just last night, I started noticing more pixelation.  Going through my
recordings, I've seen a good amount of "damaged recq"...

I was wondering if Myth has an option to determine if it's a transport
problem (coax) or network problem.  The other question is why the
"overall_score" shows a 0 when it should probably be something other than
0.

Thanks!
