* [linux-dvb] DVB on 64 vs 32 bit linux. @ 2008-05-25 10:31 Blacky 2008-05-25 18:59 ` Sid Boyce 0 siblings, 1 reply; 4+ messages in thread From: Blacky @ 2008-05-25 10:31 UTC (permalink / raw) To: Linux DVB Mailing List [-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 378 bytes --] Hi All, Just curious, but I have an older system running a 32bit linux, which I've installed zapdvb and done some recording with. I've built a new system with mythbuntu on 64bit, and using the same card, the reception is truly terrible. Low signal, stuttering, corruption etc.. Should I rebuild using myth on 32bit? Is there a difference? Thanks. Blacky.

I have 2 64-bit systems with DVB-T cards running openSUSE 11.0 Beta3plus x86_64 and results are the same as when the cards were used with the older 32-bit hardware and OS's in the same boxes. I swapped out the Motherboard/CPU/mem and used all the other components, installed 64-bit and carried on as normal. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

Some 64 stuff around here, since a while, did never made it into some real 64bit testing scenarios, since the F(c) & RH ;) anaconda installer has some serious and _now_ !, after waisting time on it again, well known issues since FC7, which still exist on F9 with some very popular raid controllers, and I always thought we have enough bugs and new cards to fix ourselves ... (just a note) Though, after ten years, I bought some recent known buggy stuff in the next supermarket ...
