[Approved] HELP test: fix for - some cards are slow at tuning. (1 Viewer)

That works nicely for me... Tuning time from 6sec went down to 3sec after the patch!
Great!

Works nicely on my 2 Pinnacle PCTV 7010ix's, apart from the fact that I have to stop the graph on the analog tuners. If I don't, the analog tuners can't switch between FM and analog TV. The analog tuners are software encoded hybrid tuners which I hardly use so it is definitely not the end of the world for me!

*Thank you* for your contribution!

However, I was hoping this would solve a new problem I'm having since replacing my good-old PVR-150 card with HVR-1700. Unfortunately, Analog channel switching is still slow (about 5 seconds). With the old PVR-150, switching took about 2 seconds.

Does anyone here use the analog part of HVR-1700 ? Do you also get slow tunes?

I'm in the process of setting up a new MP system and while searching found this recent post.
I have Hauppauge HVR-2200 (dual hybrid tuner) and also notice slow tuning on analog (haven't tried DVB-T). Is it safe to install 1.2.0 beta without other issues? In that case i can try if this solved bug changes things for me.

Cheers, Marc

I think it is okay, but like the developers say, it is beta software so it is not recommended to install it on a "production" machine...

Possible that the default "Pause" setting causes quite some major issues.

At least in all these cases it has been reported that using "stop" instead of "pause" fixes the problem.

AW: HELP test: fix for - some cards are slow at tuning.

infinite.loop
but this simply tells us that there a lot of faulty BDA drivers out there. One way could be to make stop default and let the user enable pause if he wants.
