[Mythtv]

Well another thing I found strange was everytime someone has a problem it
was because they were using a DVB card or HDVTV card. That makes sense
because they're not generating the MPEG2 source. So if the TV reception
was bad it may affect the quality of the stream. This isn't my case
because I have a PVR-250 and that's the card that is generating the MPEG2
stream.

I've done a cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg and noticed the minor artifacts
that crop up once in a while.

I'm currently using 0.1.10pre2 ivtv drivers and the same problem occurs. I
was previously using 0.1.6 happily with an uptime of 79 days.

I might be jumping to premature conclusions, but it sounds (and looks)
almost like my "poor-signal-causes-crashes" problem I have been
reporting.

Only difference is that it generally doesn't crash the backend when
trying to replay a show of questionable quality (and when the frontend
crashes, this might be the unrelated problem concerning too many
connections to the database).
