Dan,

This used to be a common issue with the dual tuner Hauppauage cards
(although there are/were Nova-T 500 and Nova-TD 500 cards). If you
have both tuners set to use active EIT collection in mythtv-setup,
trying switching one off (to use passive EIT collection) to see if
this helps. Historically, this did seem to improve stability.

Cheers,
Nick
