[mythtv-users] MythTV & SAA issue...

[Etienne Beaule]

I've been trying to get this one sorted out for some time now and I 
can't seem to make it work.

MythTV does not allow me to watch live TV anymore (it used to work a 
few months ago). Here is the error I get from Myth Backend:

> strange error flushing buffer ...

Here is what I get (relevant part I think) with dmesg:

I use TVTime to watch TV without any issues...

I'm using redhat 9 with ATRPMs packages for MythTV, kernel, saa drivers 
and alsa. All have been kept to the latest version (just ran an apt-get 
update/upgrade this morning).

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Étienne
