The Bt8x8 series are agressive pci busmasters. If your PCI bus isn't up to it (Intel Neptune chipset, Intel Triton 1 chipset, some SiS chipsets) you may be out of luck. You may also try moving it to a different PCI slot. There is also a tritonone=1 or somesuch argument you can pass the bttv module that's been known to help both the early intel chipsets and SiS chipsets, you may try that. Me, I have a WinTV 401 (TV+FM+IR 878) in a BX based dual celeron and haven't had a single problem with it, watch tv on it all the time. > Also, since I have a Hauppauge, do I have to worry about backing up the > eeprom?
