Mine doesn't seem to go up at all after it starts.  I just tried with the OSS 
drivers, and they do seem to work, I just watched a 15-minute recording 
without problems, and they usually start after 2 or 3 minutes.  I noticed 
that the OSS drivers doesn't support hardware mixing, and tried disabling the 
DXS channels with ALSA, which also appears to fix the problem.  OSS didn't 
like live TV for some reason, I got no video and a loud buzzing noise, and 
errors about not being able to open /dev/dsp.  If anybody else has this same 
problem with this chipset, I suggest they try loading the module with the 
parameter dxs_support=2, which seems to resolve it for me so far.
