Every two and a half minute, my syslog gets an entry like:
Jan 3 06:04:40 htpc kernel: cx88[1]/2: cx8802_timeout Jan 3 06:04:49 htpc vdr: [2369] frontend 1 timed out while tuning to channel 9, tp 578
About 30 seconds before i get this entry, thee's a vdr thread that eats about 25% system cpu time. I'm wondering what it's doing with all that processor power? As I'm using budget cards with softdevice, this has an effect on tv playback.. It only happens when I'm using two cards at the same time.
