Actually I'm not using the decoder on the PVR350, just the encoder right 
now. Decoding is software to a Geforce FX card, driver version 6111 
(which I've been running for ages now.) I'm running ivtv 0.2.0-rc3c, 
which was running for several days before I upgraded Myth so I'm sure 
it's not that either (not that should matter since I'm not using 
hardware decoding.)

Nothing else was changed at the time I upgraded Myth. I was running CVS 
from around thanksgiving (11/22 if I'm not mistaken) and upgraded to 
01/04. Subsequently backed down libs/libavcodec to 12/24 as per another 
post I saw on this exact same problem but still get the weirdness.

I've thought about backing down to the previous version since I still 
have the RPMs I made but I stupidly forgot to backup my database and now 
the schema has upgraded. I'm not worried about it though; it's still 
recording all my shows for me and I can live without TV for a while. :)

Hmm on the bright side I *finally* got MythMusic working. That's a 
definite plus...it never worked for me until today.
