<div>Yesterday I found a loose connector on tuner 0.
HDHomerun config showed yellow signal quality that
went away when it was tightened. Fixed it. Still
glitches, no improvement this morning.</div>

<div>Small screen shots in Mytyweb sometimes there,
sometimes not. Progress bar still missing. The

<div>Is there a way to reinstall myth without losing

I haven't followed this thread much. I am running
mythbuntu 14.04 (3.13 kernel) with 0.28. My system
started out life as mythbuntu 8.10 with 0.21. Back then,
I followed the (then) recommendations of using a separate
disk drive (spindle) for the recordings and OS/database.
Is your system configured that way? I also used the XFS
file system for the recording drive. Which FS are you
using. EXT4 may take a bit more for journal updates (I am
out of my depth here). I also configured the backend to
not do any comm flagging or transcoding jobs during my
primetime recording hours (7:00PM -> 3:00AM). I also
have slow deletes turned on (might be the default). I can
reliably record 4 to 5 shows (OTA) at the same time while
watching another, using three HDHR tuners on a separate
dedicated gigabit NIC.<br>

<div>What hardware are you running? Mine is AMD 5400 and I
installed the i386 version of Mythbuntu 14. I used the
default setup and only one disk. The old system had two
disks but both had recordings on them. Not sure of the file
system on the old system but I will see if I can get it
running long enough to check. Looks like everything is on
ext4 single partition except for the swap partition.</div>

<div>That is a good lead, thanks. </div>

The original hardware was an Intel Core2 Duo. This was upgraded
with the mythbuntu 14.04 to an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770 CPU @
3.40GHz system. The video card was also upgraded at the same time
to an Nvidia GeForce GT 630 Rev. 2. Both running the 64-bit flavor
of linux with 8GB RAM.<br>
