Hmm that is rather old.

This is fixed in SVN trunk, but isn't present in 0.20-fixes yet. I've put
in a ticket for a backport but no one has picked it up.

Yeah I've seen this one. Might be a bug decoding the DVB BAT table.

Might be down to the TV out are you running

Do you have any deinterlace filters enabled?

We use the M2NPV-VM in 32bit mode for myPVR and it is excellent. Are you
based off sarge or stable? There really isn't any reason at present to go
64bit.

1. You should be running the 1280x720_50 modeline for PAL.

2. Overscan sucks. Unless you get into the service mode on the TV it is a
pain to adjust.

3. We currently run NVidia driver version 1.0-9626, but usually the most
recent is the best.

Nope. Its a real pain but you can't.

Way off topic for this group i'm afraid. It is still classed as hacking.
