Interesting, I couldn't trigger this with tvtime at all but that may be due to 
some subtle difference between how mythtv and tvtime set up the card for 
capture.

The kernel I'm using is 2.6.2-rc1-mm2, I'll see if there's anything in the 
changelogs about updating the kernel's bttv drivers.  If nobody's put in a 
fix in a newer release, I guess I'll try the 0.9.11 drivers :-)
