I have been trying some of the suggestions in the mailing list for this 
issue.

At the moment, I have blacklisted a few modules:

blacklist lirc_zilog
blacklist rc-hauppauge


My last few recordings have been successful, but I am still cautious to 
state the issue is resolved.  Fortunately, I don't need the remote 
capabilities of the hdpvr.
