I've got an HVR-1600 in a fairly fast machine (P4 3GHz, two cores) on a 3.2.0 kernel and seem to be getting lots of this sort of thing:

Am I recalling correctly? Could that really be a problem even with a dual core 3GHz P4? Also, are those messages related to the clearqam path or the MPEG2 hardware encoder path? i.e. are those digital recording messages or analog recording messages? Cheers, b.
