Are you using a 32 or 64 bit kernel? That's exactly what happened to me while I was still on 32 bit, so I'm wondering if it's a driver issue.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 3/12/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">

<br>To: "Discussion about mythtv" <<a href="mailto:mythtv-users@mythtv.org">mythtv-users@mythtv.org</a>><br><br>My pchdtv 5500 will sometimes fail to tune to a channel or give me strange<br>color bands in my picture. It also only seems to happen when I go from
<br>tuning an HD channel to tuning an SD channel. When I go to watch a<br>recording, sometimes I'll get 1-2 good frames and then the rest of the<br>recording is all static video/audio. Other times, the picture will be in
<br>black and white, except there are horizontal repeating bars of red, green,<br>and blue that are each about 1/10th of the screen in width, which also bob<br>up and down a bit. Other times, I'll get the bars and after a few seconds
<br>they go away.<br><br>This didn't happen when I had my tuner in my other computer while I was<br>trying out mythtv. At that time, I was using a 32 bit kernel (not using 64<br>bit), but I was using the same mythtv package, linux distribution, and
<br>kernel version. I have since tried using the trunk and 20-fixes - neither<br>of which solved the problem.<br><br>So is this a known problem with pchdtv 5500 cards in mythtv? Or, is it a<br>known problem with the 64 bit driver? Is there anything I can do to try and
