[pvrusb2] Jumpy Video in Mythtv

[Mike Isely]

Mark:

There were some driver fixes that addressed video stability back around 
December 2006.  The standalone drivers since then have of course 
included that fix and the in-kernel driver from 2.6.21 onwards has the 
fix.  That particular fix IIRC was also backported into a point-release 
of 2.6.20 but I don't remember off the top of my head at what point it 
was introduced.

Can you please verify which pvrusb2 driver version you are running?  
Did you pull down a standalone snapshot or is it whatever came with your 
kernel (what kernel version?) or did you install a v4l-dvb snapshot?
