First off, this is definatly not a MythTV problem, as MythTV is a
program, and thus cannot crash/hard lock your computer. This is
most probably a dvb driver, or maybe kernel issue.

You don't tell the version of either MythTV or DVB drivers!

And have you even tested dvb-kernel CVS or DVB CVS?
What about installing a vanilla kernel?

After testing those, I suggest you head over to linuxtv.org with
a detailed and to the point report about the problem.
