I had similar problems to what you're showing. Much more frequently on
the digital than analog, however. For the analog tuner, I had to modify
my IVTV driver in ivtv-driver.h to IVTV_ENC_PIO 1, which fixed the
analog issues. For digital, I replaced the power supply, which fixed
those issues.
I tried literally everything else before the power supply. Motherboard,
processors, removing all the other cards, removing disks, changing ram, etc.
Might be your issue here.
