[mythtv-users] MythTV 0.17 hangs with remote & while in Live TV

Hi,

I am able to watch live tv for a few minutes and then the PC dies.  The only 
way to get the control back is to power-cycle the PC.  Same thing happens 
when I start playing with the remote:  fastforward, channel up/down.  I can 
do these things on the remote a couple of times, but then the PC hangs.

I searched the MythTV mailing list for similar symptoms and I only found 
somewhat similar references, but with previous versions of ivtv and MythTV 
and the solution was to upgrade, so I am not sure where to go from here.

I installed MythTV 0.17, ivtv 0.2.0 (rc3i), lirc 0.7.0 on an EPIA M10000 
running Fedora Core 2 (2.6.10-1.770_FC2) with a PVR-350. Both backend and 
frontend are on the same PC.  I followed Jarod Wilsonīs instructions to set 
things up, although apt-get got some newer versions of the components from 
those listed in Jarodīs site.

Any thoughts?

I am including the ivtv entries from my log as well as the output of lspci.

Thanks!!
