Some news here :<br><br>I am now using the debian-multimedia package (version 0.20-svn20070223-0.0) on all my boxes (b/e and f/e's). If fixed liveTV on one of my f/e's but I still observe the same problem on another one. More precisely, liveTV works fine for half a minute and then pauses about 2 sec, resumes playback, pauses 2sec, resumes again, etc. The log messages related to this behavior are :<br><br>----<br>2007-03-10 12:25:10.895 Checking to see if there's a new livetv program to switch to..<br>2007-03-10 12:25:11.955 NVP: Prebuffer wait timed out 10 times.<br>2007-03-10 12:25:13.019 RingBuf(/multimed/mythtv/livetv/1006_20070310122457.mpg): Waited 1.0 seconds for data to become available...<br>----<br>on and on ...<br><br>It looks like it's trying to switch to another program periodically but it's always switching back to itself.<br><br>Did anybody observe such behavior ???<br><br>J. <br><br><b><i>James Warden <warjamy@yahoo.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote
