I actually haven't really tried in Mythtv itself, I was just experimenting with szap and mplayer. But I figured that if they aren't working there, they would not elsewhere. I do notice that while taking the card out and putting it back it, the CAM show as initialized successfully in dmesg. I will try your suggestion though. Off topic, but would you advice 11.4 in favor of 11.3? As a secondary route, I was thinking about using sasc-ng (softcamming, legal in this case) and the code seems not to want to compile on 11.4. Also 11.4 broke after updating the kernel. thx again! B.
