[mythtv-users] IVTV issues (picture with artifacts, strange colors)

Since I upgraded my version of IVTV via APT-GET a couple of weeks ago  
I have problems with my picture (on captured movies and on Live TV).  
I get a picture with random artifacts (large blocks of strange  
colors). The appear on different parts in the screens and seems to be  
totally random. It seems that I don't have the right after a reboot,  
but it appears after a day or so. Sometimes there are more artifact  
and sometime there is none.

I have tried the "AT-testing" repository version of IVTV (think its  
version 0.3.something) and I don't have the same problem there.  
Instead my system becomes unstable (two total system lockup in one  
week, none before that). My system log file was full of strange  
messages, can't remember what it said right now (over 40 MB's of text  
in one night).

My system is a Shuttle with nVidia chipset running a AMD Athlon  
processor.
Software is Fedora Core 3 running CVS compiled version of the latest  
MythTV source (last update a couple of days ago).

Anybody else seen/have the same problem? Any hint to a solution?
