I started with version Mythbuntu 8.10 back in 2008. I had three PVR-150's on an Intel WASP 875 based system, with a 3.2GHz P4, with 2 Gigs of memory that I bought for about 250 bucks. Not too bad for a media server on the cheap. Time rolls on, and the system does well for almost 3 years. The along comes the Missouri river floods of 2011. Since my home was located less than a mile from the river, and flood waters ended up only a few hundred yards from my front steps, we had to remove a lot of stuff from our house, which included the server running Mythbuntu. <br><br>Fast forward several months later...<br><br>I decided to re-install the server, add some digital tuners, and start over with clean installs of Mythbuntu 11.10 running the latest edition of MythTV, version 0.24.1. <br><br>Problem 1 - Version 11.10 will not boot on the Intel WASP 875 board I have (Locks up on "Kernel Thread Helper". Went back to version 11.04. Problem solved for the moment. <br><br>Problem 2 - Since the Intel WASP board has five PCI slots, I filled them up with three PVR-150's, one pcHDTV HD-5500, and one ATi HDTV Wonder card. One or more of the PVR-150's would not work or worked unreliably. Turned out to be a bad PVR-150. Casualty of the move due to the flooding, I guess. Replaced card...problem solved. <br><br>Problem 3 - I successfully installed version 11.04, and began setting up the tuners, and to my surprise, scanning for channels with the analog tuners no longer worked. But scanning for digital channels worked fine. OK, so I had to set up the analog channels in the channel editor manually. PITA, but problem solved.<br><br>Problem 4 - When I watched live TV with one of the PVR-150's, the default channel would appear. I could even change channels up and down on that tuner without trouble. However, when I switched inputs to one of the other PVR-150's, I would get distorted video, stutters, and sometimes a blank screen, followed by an error moments later about video frame buffering failed too many times or something about a jump program file buffer. Went back in time to version 10.10, same issues. Went back to 9.10, same thing. Only when I loaded version 8.10, did this issue go away. Problem solved. <br><br>Problem 5 - I then loaded up one of the Zotac MAG ION based systems I have been planning on using as a frontend for about a year. Once I loaded up version 8.10 on it, I learned two things. 1…The ION chipset is not recognized at all, by anything, and 2…VDPAU, which I planned on utilizing, was not incorporated into MythTV until version 0.22. Problem - not resolved. <br><br>So now I am stuck with a frontend I cannot use because the software I loaded is so old it will not properly recognize the video chip. Even if I somehow managed to load the latest drivers, MythTV version 0.21 does not support VDPAU, so it really doesn't matter. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Has anyone else seen this issue with the analog tuners?
