[mythtv-users] 0.28 or port external recorder?

 >What makes you think your HDPVR1 is about to die?

My HDPVR1 will lock up with the blue recording light on and the only way 
to unlock it is to power cycle it. Other times it will output large 
green squares on the recording which sometimes will cause myth to lock 
up. It's just becoming a bit unreliable which is hurting the WAF

Thats good to hear it is pretty solid. Personally I don't mind the risk, 
I'm typing this on my baytrail chrome book re-flashed with core boot and 
beta ubuntu 15.10 so taking risks isn't to concerning if I have a 
feeling that it'll work out.  I just don't want it to be totally flaky 
and crashing every couple of minutes.

0.28 only? If that's the case I'll upgrade next week sometime and when 
you are ready I'd be happy to do some testing for you.

Are you thinking integrated into myth or external recorder with scripts? 
Reading the wiki about the external recorder makes me think I could hash 
something together to get it working.
