If anyone is experiencing problems and has not upgraded to the latest<br>

Now that I'm aware I can see I'd want to get an HDPVR2 if my current HDPVR fails, and I'd have no issue paying for a reasonably priced, very stable closed source driver to make it work with mythtv.<br><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br></div></div>
