<p class="MsoNormal">I’m new to the HD-PVR and have recently
installed it on my working backend. It is mostly working now
– I can tune live TV using it and recordings fire off a
channel change. I’ve got a problem with my channel change
script when starting a recording (which doesn’t happen with
live TV) but I should be able to figure that out on my own.
But I also see that the HD-PVR sometimes doesn’t stop
recording. The show it tried to record (but recorded a
different program instead due to the aforementioned script
issue) lasted a half hour and MythTV seems to have correctly
stopped recording at the half hour mark even though the HD-PVR
didn’t get the notification to stop recording. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To try and debug it, I thought about
looking into a script to reload the hdpvr module. Seemed
simple enough and there are script examples out there. But
when I try typing the following in the command line: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> sudo modprobe -r -v hdpvr<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">the command just hangs there indefinitely
showing:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> rmmod hdpvr<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> I can kill the sudo process that kicked
off the modprobe but I can’t kill the modprobe process. The
only way I have found to clear the problem is a reboot and
even then, during shutdown, the process won’t die and hangs
the computer on the waiting for processes to end step
requiring me to push and hold the power button. Nasty.
Clearly something is very wrong somewhere. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is what I see in dmesg before trying
the modprobe –r:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">If I don’t plug in the USB connection to
the HD-PVR when I boot up, the hdpvr module doesn’t get
loaded, of course. So I can modprobe hdpvr and it loads
fine. Then I can modprobe –r no problem. The inability to
remove the hdpvr module could be related to the way the device
keeps recording sometimes. So I’m hopeful that fixing one
will fix the other. But I’m out of ideas about what to check
or what could be the source of the problem. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am running Mythbuntu so my setup for the
HD-PVR was pretty easy. Mostly just plugged it in and set it
up in the Backend setup. A few extra steps to enable the IR
flashing. And I did start with updating the firmware to the
latest using a Windows computer. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have checked my BIOS settings for USB
settings. I don’t have much in there for options (6 year-old
ASUS BYO) and what is there seems to things set appropriately,
at least as far I can tell. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Anybody have suggestions on where to look
to chase down a problem like this (or these, as the case may
be)? Thanks!! <o:p></o:p></p>

hdpvr 1-5:1.0: firmware version 0x15 dated Jun 17 2010 09:26:53<br>
<br>
This is the firmware that I have been using..I have never
experienced any of the problems you are having.. The hdpvr has been
bullet proof for me.. The only other thing is I use firewire for
channel changing..<br>
