With 0.22-0.24 there were lots of issues; slow channel changes, occasional drops, and a rare lockup, but for the most part it worked fine 90%+ of the time.  Recordings worked 99.99% of the time.  After upgrading to 0.25 records all seem to work fine as before but live TV is HORRIBLE, it maybe works 10% of the time.  Starting live TV or attempting to change channels I get a bunch of "error opening jump program file buffer" errors.  Backend logs show a generic "MPEGRec(/dev/video0): Device error detected", "DevRdB(/dev/video0): Poll giving up 2".

I had been using the 1.5.7 firmware but since I'm running Fedora 16 /w the 3.3.5 kernel I decided to try 1.7.1.  It seems work about the same so far (no color issues with the 3.3.5 kernel drivers).

Are you actually using 0.25?  If so, that's likely your problem.  You 
should be using (current) 0.25-fixes.
