1. Check the power adapter and replace if needed. The
HD-PVR power<br>
adapters are notorious for failing and causing sporadic
issues as they<br>
fail.<br>
<br>
2. Add a fan. Some units, particularly the earlier ones,
could get<br>
too warm.<br>

<div>Sigh. I supposed I should go ahead and finish the code I
mostly have working for the HD-PVR2. I kinda lost interest
while waiting for Hauppauge to add surround sound support to
their linux "driver". I probably have a few weekends worth
of work to get the current capabilities published. I am
unlikely to have time to work on it until after the
holidays.<br>

<div>Note, though, that this is unlikely to be something that
can be <i>just</i> included with MythTV, since the
Hauppauge "driver" is full of copyright notices from the
various chip manufacturers. To get it working to the
extent that I have, required patching the "driver" code, so
I basically will have to make that patch available, and
provide instructions telling people how to make it work.</div>

How about supporting something like this instead of HDPVR2? This is
a USB HDMI capture device. There are several of them around. Some,
like the below item, advertise Linux support and apparently work
with standard webcam drivers.<br>

I think it would need a recorder in MythTV to encode and store as a
TS file.<br>
