[ivtv-users] cat /dev/video0 suddently stops after capturing a looong time

[Peter Michael Jensen]

Hi Bryan

Thanks for your suggestions.
In the meantime I have tried _not_ to use the PVR350 tv-out (with the
ivtv-fb) for displaying tv/mythfrontend/etc. and everything seems to work
like a charm...
I have noticed that the TV-out on PVR350 is no longer supported that well
but I thougt it was somewhat ok after getting into the kernel?

Best Regards
Peter
