I have two tuners one PVR350, and one HDHomerun. <br /> Tuning problems are mainly with the PVR350. <br /> <br />I am experiencing long delays when switching to, or changing channels on <br />the PVR350. At times I also get a flashing or pixelated line across the <br />top of the screen. If I exit and re-tune the same channel it's usually <br /> gone. I also get recordings that are the same way, so that eliminates a <br />video driver issue. <br /> <br />When it does work after a channel change it takes up to 20 sec before it <br />actually displays the video on the new channel ( while waiting it shows a <br /> still shot of the previous channel but I can hear sound from the new <br />channel). <br /> <br />If it doesn't work I get an "Error opening jump program file buffer" and am <br />returned back to the menu. which happens 50% of the time. Then I can't use <br /> the card without rebooting. <br /> <br />If I look at the backend status it says that it's watching live TV on the <br />channel and tuner I tried to tune or change to. <br /> <br />Has anyone else seen this, or have a fix? <br /> <br />Thanks <br />--<br /><br /></font></font><br /><font face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica" color="black"><font face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica" color="black">Tim Scholl wrote: <br /><font color="#660066">> <br />> Has anyone else seen this, or have a fix? <br /> </font> <br />A fix, no... A work around, possibly. <br /> <br />As someone pointed out to me with my issue with changing channels on my <br />HVR-2250 (analog side), is to jump to a digital channel on the HDHR and <br />then to an analog channel that you want. <br /> <br />It does work. <br /> <br />Doug <br /> <br />-- </font></font><br />For some reason. I never received an email with the reply but did see it on Mythtv - Users.<br /><br />I tried your suggestion and it does work but it is a pain in the butt to have to do.<br /> <br />I am wondering if there a ticket open on this problem?<br /><br />Thanks in advance. <br clear="all" /><br />-- <br />Tim Scholl<br /> </blockquote><p>Hi Tim.</p><p> </p><p>This won't be any help to you, but I am experiencing similar problems with my PVR250's (I've got one in my MBE and one in my SBE). I sometimes get a flashing stripe about 20% of the height of the screen at the top - it's as if it's being torn from the image (if that makes any sense). It doesn't happen every time I switch to a PVR250 channel, but it also happens sometimes when a recording is started (which makes it really annoying, I can do something about it when I'm watching live tv). Since this happens on both cards in different machines, I tend to discount the thought that the card is faulty.</p><p> </p><p>I also get fairly frequent <font face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica" color="black"><font face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica" color="black">"Error opening jump program file buffer" messages, but can normally continue to use the card without having to reboot (although I sometimes have to restart the mythbackend process). Channel changes are also a bit slow, but I don't actually change channel on the card as I use the composite input exclusively on these cards to record from an external box (Sky+HD in the UK).</font></font><br /> </p><p>So I echo your plea for help - if anyone else has had these sorts of problems and knows of a fix, please let us know.</p><p> </p><p>Regards,</p><p>Dave.</p>
