I'm not going to suggest they use a particular kernel specific version
of ivtv when I don't know the kernel version of the original poster. 
I'll leave it
to his deductive powers to figure out which he needs to use - the ivtv 
page clearly
states it.

As I said, the ivtv changelog lists a recent fix in relation to ivtv 
hanging with mythtv.
For recent read 'close to but before the posting date of the message 
containing this text'.

As I've read you're upgrading from .18 to .19 I'd suggest if you have 
stability troubles
you don't assume that because the old ivtv version worked correctly with 
your hardware
that it will continue to do so while operating under a different version 
of mythtv.
That was not the case for my system, I assume mythtvs usage of ivtv 
changed slightly, and I'm
pointing this out to possibly save the original poster and perhaps 
yourself some wasted time.
