> 2) Back on Arch, I just watched half an hour of TV3 using VLC to open

> So - it's not something to do with Arch/MythTV (at least not

> So: a lack of frames / info being presented by the card - but only
> under linux (not in Windows or to the TV tuner). Occuring every 20
> minutes or so. Mine wasn't resolved by attenuating the signal (3-20dB
> range) - although I could try again, I suppose to see if I can

> Hopefully the USB DTV-B tuner will arrive tomorrow to test.
