FWIW, I'm seeing these lockups, too, and I'm using a single bttv card.  
I haven't mentioned anything until now, since I haven't had time to try 
to figure out how to provide more information that could be used to 
debug it.  When it locks, I can ping the box, but any other network 
connection fails.  Mouse and keyboard input is ignored, and I also have 
to power cycle the box.

I'd be glad to provide more information if anyone has any tips on how I 
could do that.
