It is quite important that you use dma accelerated tv out. Especially |
| 12 |
with xawtv as it doesn't do postprocessing this should work until you |
| 13 |
saturise your pci bus. The freezing thing however suggests that dma is |
| 14 |
not enabled for your harddisk which is an even bigger performance issue. |

Make sure you have the right drivers in your kernel, or loaded as module. |
