Oh, and a side issue is that even if it is a hardware problem / driver<br>
problem... mythTV does a horrible job at handling the error. It<br>
doesn't recognize that the capture card has failed... it doesn't try<br>
another one, doesn't stop attempting to use the non-responsive one.<br>
<br>
Just carries on, making 0 byte recordings of everything, until someone<br>
notices it.<br>

I think I can speak for all of us that we would happily accept patches that more gracefully deal with those pre-requisites not being true, but ultimately we have to make the assumption that the devices the user configures do in fact work.</div>
