Comment 88 for bug 439163

I just used the http://hg.kewl.org/archive/v4l-dvb-fixes/ on a real system
while I have compiled, installed and built a deb install for the
http://hg.kewl.org/archive/v4l-dvb-fixes/ on a Vboxed system running myth
Karmic but after that I never installed on the system I have at home which
is now running jaunty.

Tonight I will reinstall all for you and test in the way you suggested.

What I have noted after I tried myth 8.04, 9.04 and 9.10 is that now 9.04
stutter a bit while never was before.
Regarding the poor quality I meant that often are present some artefact and
sometime glitches on audio path while there were no stuttering.
At home I have two different TV plugs one of them has bad quality signal.

One word about karmic: the problems I had after I installed the distribution
are so many that I decided to revert to Jaunty.
Note that I have 2 PC at work and 4 at home most of them running windows and
Ubuntu.
Grub is not booting if you decide to have it booting in a partition (3 PC
are having this problem all using OSL2000 as boot manager).
Myth Karmic have no support for PAL on intel 945 (also Jaunty indeed) have
to be patched and finally if you decide to switch off by pushing the power
button it asks for a password (I have no keyboard attached to my HTPC!)...
Anyway I appreciate what you are doing and I will try to support you as much
as possible.

I hope to post the result of tests tomorrow

Cheers

Dario
