<div id=":1e1" class="ii gt">I've gotten a couple requests for more info on configuring this in Mythbuntu. I posted some steps in the MythTV wiki for the HD-PVR. <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Hauppauge_HD-PVR" target="_blank">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Hauppauge_HD-PVR</a> These steps should get most people up and running. It does require compiling drivers - if you're not comfortable doing it then something like Fedora (already includes IR support) may be a better option.</div>
</blockquote></div><br>First, I want to thank you for putting together that guide. I was finally able to get the blaster working in Mythbuntu. However, I don't know if it is something I did or a side effect of the patches, but my HDPVR is no longer stable. I think I remember reading in the thread awhile back where they were working on the patches that someone experienced lockups after applying the patch. With the number of people doing these patches now I would assume that has been resolved, but I am having a problem with it when using the patches.<br>
<br>I am able to watch and record TV, but at some point during the live TV session the screen goes black and eventually crashes back to the main menu with the popup error "video frame buffering failed too many times." In order to use the HDPVR again, I would need to power cycle it and reboot the backend. Below is a portion of my frontend logs including the error.<br>
