There is more than circumstantial evidence that V4L/DVB has some pretty
substantial issues in current Ubuntu and derivatives.  Mike is unlikely to
have the issue as he rolls his own distro.  While I'm sure there are
exceptions, many MANY of the people reporting this issue tend to be using
*buntu.

The recorder code in MythTV has not changed in *any* substantial fashion
since well before .22.  The *only* difference of note in recorder code
between .23 and .24 is an update to the HDHR libs, which only affects those
devices.
