Are you trying to watch livetv on the backend or a remote frontend I
have seen some issues with remote frontend + live TV + HD-PVR.

With 0.22-0.24 there were lots of issues; slow channel changes, occasional drops, and a rare lockup, but for the most part it worked fine 90%+ of the time.  Recordings worked 99.99% of the time.  After upgrading to 0.25 records all seem to work fine as before but live TV is HORRIBLE, it maybe works 10% of the time.  Starting live TV or attempting to change channels I get a bunch of "error opening jump program file buffer" errors.  Backend logs show a generic "MPEGRec(/dev/video0): Device error detected", "DevRdB(/dev/video0): Poll giving up 2".

I had been using the 1.5.7 firmware but since I'm running Fedora 16 /w the 3.3.5 kernel I decided to try 1.7.1.  It seems work about the same so far (no color issues with the 3.3.5 kernel drivers).
