By helpful hand of tomppa@fidata.fi I tried this already and it didn't
change the behaviour. However in the win95 land I get this card
working "fine" (as can be expected for that environment :-)
So there must be something different with the Miro card the
driver/fxtv overlooks compared to hauppauge which works better.
So my options practically are (in no special preference):
- return the cards and get the hauppauge ones
- work with you and get the MIRO specifics of the driver straight
I'm tracking 3.0-current on the box I'm playing with the card and I'm
not doing any "real" work with it (yet) so it's easy to reboot/etc frequently.
