With PVR-250's as recording devices i have yet another:
card has managed to get into state that needs long power off to clear 
the memory....
Last reboot of my server (current uptime 8 days) was for that reason.

Caused me to upgrade to ivtv 0.2.0-rc2u

Don't start about 0.1.9. That one never worked for me. And on this 
particular system a 2.4 kernel will lose me most of my disks...

Cheers,
