[mythtv-users] AverMedia Card

[Andrew Hogue]

Hi again,

Okay, well I'm using Myth0.12 and I still need to do the test_ioctl's in
order to use the capture card for some reason.

However, I just ran into a strange issue and was wondering if any of you
have experienced this one?

Everything was working perfectly fine with the M179 card.  Then I rebooted
to see if everything would work after a reboot...

Now, the image looks worse.  I have vertical lines throughout the image
and the mpeg artifacts are worse than before.

I rmmod'ed the ivtv module and then modprobed it again, restarted the
mythbackend and same thing.

Any ideas?
