[mythtv-users] Backend crashing/locking up

[Mike Drons]

I have just upgraded to a PVR250 card and my backend is crashing when
watching live tv after about 2 minutes.

I have an AMD 2400 with a nvidia gforce2 card running gentoo.

I have mythtv .14 from an ebuild.

This is the only error I get on the backend.

Couldn't read data from the capture card in 15 seconds.  Game over, man.

Doing a cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/t.mpg  will capture for over an hour, so I
don't think it is the ivtv driver.  I saw some discussion on this issue, but
no one every says what solved the issue.  

I have made sure that the pvr250 has a dedicated IRQ (IRQ 7).  I am using
IVTV 1.9 drivers for the card.
