[vdr] Re: WinTV Nexus hardware problems

["Thomas Erdmann" <vdr@igt-gmbh.de>]

Hello
i am using an MSI Barebone too ( the one with a P4 ).
In early 2002 i started with vdr 1.0.4 and there were the same
problems with the colors. I installed a "card fan" in the
PCI slot near the DVB-S 1.3 and the problems appeared
only at long run time, vdr > 5 hours or so. Each day for firts use
it must be restarted for proper operation.
I did several updates with DVB and vdr and sometime this problem
disappeared.
I'm now using vdr 1.1.20 and the matching driver and there are only
the problems listed by Are Arsenth on 13.2.2003-16:06.
Which versions do You use ?
 Thomas
