[mythtv-users] semi-OT: HD-3000: cx8802_timeout whenever I try to use ATSC

I apologize if this is too general for the MythTV list in particular,
but it is related to my trying to setup a MythTV installation, and I'm
hoping that there are some seasoned HD-3000 users who could help me out.
 This card used to work just fine for me when I used to use the old V4L2
interface, but I haven't used the card in a while, and after finally
installing it again, I've had to use the newer DVB interface built into
the kernel.

I've been scouring the forums and google trying to find a solution to
this, and while I've seen many people with the timeout, I've not found a
solution that works for me. I've tried both kernel 2.6.19.1 and
2.6.17.11, and neither of them work for me. Note that the dmesg outputs
listed below are for the 2.6.17.11 kernel.

As a heads up, if it means anything to anybody, I'm using a dual core
Athlon 64 with an Asus A8V Deluxe motherboard.

I'm using the DVB drivers built into the kernel. I have the necessary
firmware in /lib/firmware, and dmesg has confirmed for me that the
firmware is being loaded successfully. Every time I try to use dtvsignal
or dtvscan however, I get the following dumped to dmesg:

cx88[0]/2: cx8802_timeout
cx88[0]/2: cx8802_stop_dma
cx88[0]/2: restarting queue
cx88[0]/2: cx8802_restart_queue
cx88[0]/2: cx8802_restart_queue: queue is empty

I have confirmed that the antenna is giving me a signal, because NTSC
works just fine. I have no idea what the problem is, and I'm really
getting frustrated :( Does anybody have any ideas as to where I can go
from here?

Just for reference, here's every dmesg line relevant to the HD-3000 from
initialization of the module to the timeout. And, for what it's worth,
I'm using ivtv 0.7.3, if that makes any difference (I'll also show my
ivtv output, just in case it's relevant for whatever reason.)
