[mythtv-users] Myth problem or HDPVR probmem?

[Dan Armbrust]

Oh, and a side issue is that even if it is a hardware problem / driver
problem... mythTV does a horrible job at handling the error.  It
doesn't recognize that the capture card has failed... it doesn't try
another one, doesn't stop attempting to use the non-responsive one.

Just carries on, making 0 byte recordings of everything, until someone
notices it.
