File size, mangled frames, the inablilty to use anything else but
MythTV to view the recordings, random failures opening /dev/video0
resulting in missed recordings.

I've run this box with a 878-based card, and a -250, all for thousands
of hours without a hitch, so I'm fairly confident it's not the machine
hardware, although that's not beyond reason, just unlikely. The file
format is the things that gets me the most. It seems like we've backed
into a proprietary MythTV format?
