Hi, Ever since i got TVheadend on ubuntu server and the plugin on xbmcbuntu Eden, I have had constant distortions every 30 mins or so for about a minute (on every channel I have cam across). It would be accompanied by disturbing squeak sounds and blocky / pixelation, it would also Pause / Buff etc. etc. My adapter is HVR-1700 which is supposedly well supported in linux, I also have a GB lan which streams 14GB HD files flawlessly, so i can rule that out. Only today i decided to use the coaxial cable running from the tv (which never showed these symptoms) to the pci-e card, as i thought maybe the other cable was dodgy. But this turned out to be false. I have run out off ideas, and although i am tempted to test with another backend software like mythtv, it is something i would like to avoid for the time being.
Here is a link to the output from Tvheadend http://pastebin.com/dHSSyKEi
Also to note: Under Adapter->Multiplexes every thing shows 100% quality. BUT if i did Monitor signal quality, It would slowly degrade to 0% and also caused issues in trying too access the channels...
EDIT: Also forgot too mention which is kind of off topic, but while i had vaapi enabled, xbmc would crash and restart after these symptoms had arisen, which left me too no choice but to turn off vaapi (this in itself is annoying considering HD movies wont work without it) and use software rendering. I also couldn't use a patched version off vaapi that was discussed somewhere that I cant remember as it wouldn't allow de-interlacing which was really needed aswell....
For now any help for any off these will be great, thanks
