I have tweaked my system several days with mythtv-suite 0.16-43. I'm using 
ATRPMS. The big problem for me was to reduce CPU load to get a watchable 
DVB Live TV picture. I finally got it working without any glitches. But 
when I installed the latest rpm 0.16-44 to get more features, everything 
else was fine, but now my DVB Live TV, both video and audio, is horribly 
stuttering every second. I believe something has changed that broke DVB. 
I also noted higher CPU load, especially with X. Previously it was at 10% 
now it is about 40%.

The error messages from the backend are:
2004-09-18 17:43:53 DVB#0 WARNING - Transport Stream Continuity Error. PID 
= 512
2004-09-18 17:43:53 DVB#0 WARNING - Uncorrectable error in packet, 
dropped.

These errors don't appear when I run the card manually with czap and 
feed mplayer directly. This leads me to believe there are problems with 
MythTV.

In my stupidity I haven't saved the previous rpms. Is there a location 
where I can download the previous 0.16-43 suite? 

Here is what was installed and updated under my last yum update:

My system is Fedora Core 2 with 2.6.8-1.521 kernel. I had to use Nvidias 
latest drivers 61.11 to get acceleration working.
CPU Duron 800

Thanks for any help,
