As previously mentioned, I recently installed a new machine with a Nova-TD-500. With the initial setup channel changes were a lot quicker than they are now, however they did also regularly fail. Unfortunately I have not kept any record of updates applied although I know that the following was done<BR>
Started off with the Jaunty mythbuntu kernel<BR>
Replaced the nova-t 1.20 firmware with the 1.10<BR>
Compiled v4l-dvb drivers (which got infrared working)<BR>
Used a Jean-Yves repository, just after or just before he announced the 185 vdpau drivers<BR>
Had ok channel changing times (a few seconds), but lots of crashes on changing channels<BR>
Set 150ms timeouts in mythtv for nova-td-500 channel change wait.<BR>
At some point tried the 185 vdpau drivers, backed them out and had lots of problems, compiled bew v4l-dvb drivers (which broke infrared again)<BR>
Noticed that channel changing was very slow.<BR>
Obtained recent Jean-Yves changes and got system working a lot better, channel changing is very slow.<BR>
<BR>
System is an Intel box so it's not just AMD ones that it's happening on.<BR>
Unfortunately I haven't had any time to investigate further as my wife already thinks I spend way too much time on the computer...<BR>

There must be something else that has affected the tuner. I don't
believe it is caused by a faulty card (sorry, just my opinion :) This
suddenly started after an upgrade - it would be quite a coincidence.
But I guess the onus is on me to figure out what is causing this. Or
maybe, with my wife and kids away for the school holidays next week, I
just bite the bullet and reinstall everything fresh onto 9.04 (shudder)
