[mythtv-users] Best version for DVB-T

[Dawson, Guy]

Nick

The most important aspect for me is reliability.  We don't use live TV but I
really need a box that will always record properly.  Some posts I've see
about 0.19 talk of recording failures which completely destroys the point of
a PVR. If live TV crashes, you can switch over, whereas settling down to
watch last nights must see show only to find it's not there is a real pain
(especially if it the wife's must see show!)

I assume than you have a later Nova T, since you are using cx88??? modules?

regards

Guy

Guy,

I'm still using 0.18.1 and am relieved that I have waited to upgrade
now that the Nova/DVB issues have come to light and 0.18.1 is no
longer available from atrpms.net. I have a Nova-T in my MBE, and 2
V-Stream DVB Xpert card in a slave, but as they all use the same
cx88-dvb module (but have different frontends/tuners) I'm loth to
change anything as it's all stable at the moment and has been since
installing 0.18.1 last May (I don't use MythTV for LiveTV much at
all). Any chance of losing recordings is reason enough for me to do a
lot more research before upgrading.

To other DVB/0.19 users,

Is the DVB/0.19 problem specific to the Nova-T support in the kernel's
DVB code, or does it affect other DVB cards also using the cx88-dvb
module?

Thanks,
Nick
