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>
<div><br>
</div>
<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>

Is there anything out there that will do HDMI to ethernet with
H264 encoding? I found this, but I don't have the knowledge to
answer my own question...

While it might be possible to write software to save the H.264
stream output by this device, there are two problems:<br>
<br>
1. Since their documentation wasn't clear, I called their tech
support line, and they confirmed that this device only carries
2-channel PCM audio. This may not matter to you, but it definitely
does to me.<br>
<br>
2. Depending on how your content provider (cable company) has set
the HDCP flags on the channels you watch, this device may not work
at all, even for video.
