In my script I repeat the setchannel command 3 times or so... :-)) And I never missed a show due to that problem since then (taken from "A Few Good Men")... pvr250-setchannel -g 352x576 -a on -t -m 4 $3 sleep 2 pvr250-setchannel -g 352x576 -a on -t -m 4 $3 sleep 2 pvr250-setchannel -g 352x576 -a on -t -m 4 $3 sleep 2 pvr250-setchannel -g 352x576 -a on -t -m 4 $3 > I proceed on to a test: > # cat /dev/cxm0 > foo.mpg > I did that the first time on my very old fax-dsl-ntp-pvr-server and had similar problems... I do not know how it comes but I have no stability problems (uptimes over 40 days with about 4hrs pvr recording every day) since I use very high block sizes... Try dd if=/dev/cxm0 of=/tmp/bla ibs=1m Or dd if=/dev/cxm0 of=/tmp/bla bs=1m ??? I wrote a little C program, that does this quite nicely even over a network without crashes... If u want, I can send it to the list... It is quite short... Furthermore u should turn off any power saving feature, if u want to use pvr250 port, because the driver seems to hate power saving... > Any clues would be much appreciated. > Hope it helped u 2... -Arne ____________________________________________________________________________________ Want to start your own business?
