I have the same problem with 2.4.22 and DVB 1.0.1, I then tried 2.6.1 
with the built in DVB drivers and mythbackend died within minutes of 
viewing liveTV with a kernel BUG entry in the logs.  I've switched back 
to 2.4.22 with DVB1.0.1 for now because at least it'll run ofr a while 
without locking the machine.


As you say, it seems to be when a program starts (or finsihes I havn't 
worked out which) and I guess that is due to opening/closing the 
drivers.  I never have a crash halfway through a program being recorded.

Just wanted to let it be known that you aren't th only person with the 
problem.  I will get around to trying dvb-kernel from CVS at some point 
and if I still have problems I'll go and metnion it on the linuxtv.org 
lists but my last couple of posts have not probuced any useful responses.
