It locked up the whole OS when accessed on a linux machine, and froze any windows app that tried to access it when I moved to to my windows box in a debugging attempt.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, at the time surpluscomputers had Aitech Wavewatcher cards on sale for $10 a pop. While Aitech had impolite things to say about them, they are actually halfway decent bt878 cards. So I got a pair for $30 (S&amp;H was a chunk as you might guess) and stuffed one in the linux\/mythtv box. After kudzu went through and removed one bt878 card and then added the new bt878 card everything worked flawlessly again. I even think the picture quality is a little better, but the audio is louder and doesn&#8217;t sound quite as good. Fortunately, I&#8217;m not terribly picky about quality right now. If I really cared, I would go get some of those nice Hauppage cards with the mpeg encoders built in :-)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>    <![CDATA[]]><br \/>\n     <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3cats.us\/blog\/2004\/11\/notes-74\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-108","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.3cats.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.3cats.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.3cats.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.3cats.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.3cats.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=108"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.3cats.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.3cats.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=108"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.3cats.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=108"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.3cats.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=108"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
