Revision 2813 Feb 2005 - TobyCabot

Line: 1 to 1

Most folks buy their TV's at places like Sears or Best Buy, and there's a lot to be said for plunking your credit card down and driving home with a functional television set. But that's not my style. I've been using a Commodore 64 color monitor hooked up to a VCR since the late 80's and it's worked great. On the other hand, VCR's are going the way of the dodo and a 13" television with weak mono sound isn't much fun so I should probably upgrade.

Line: 112 to 112

options bttv audiomux=0xff44e 2.6 is overall a big improvement over 2.4, live TV "skips" less (almost never now) than it used to.

2005-02-12 - Upgraded to 0.17. Problems with the backend getting killed by the Linux kernel out of memory killer. Seems to use a lot of memory when it's recording (or when I'm watching TV):

  PID USER		PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM	 TIME+  COMMAND
29777 mythtv	 16	0  239m  39m  89m S  0.0  1.0	0:00.14 mythbackend

...and even when it's not recording:

  PID USER		PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM	 TIME+  COMMAND
29984 mythtv	 15	0  150m  14m  24m S  0.0  0.4	0:00.87 mythbackend
