Thanks.  Will do.

I've added a printk() to the fallback path, so that it will show up in
the syslog whenever the fallback is used.

So far, no problem.  But prior to now, the HVR-1600 regularly failed about
once every 2-3 days according to the script I have which tests for the issue.

On a similar note, while checking the logs last evening, I discovered that
the muted episode of "Survivor Heros & Villians" (two weeks ago) was actually
recorded on the _PVR-250_ card.  With no audio.   This has happened before,
though rarely -- perhaps once every 3-6 months or so.

I wonder if a similar fix/workaround could be appropriate for that card as well?
In the mean while, I guess I'll update my scripts to test/report for that
one as well as the cx18/hvr1600.

Cheers
