Yeah, not sure why the default values were wrong. Fixed that,

# for i in  /sys/module/hdpvr/parameters/* ; do echo -ne "$i -- $(cat
$i)\n"; done
/sys/module/hdpvr/parameters/boost_audio -- N
/sys/module/hdpvr/parameters/default_audio_input -- 0
/sys/module/hdpvr/parameters/default_video_input -- 0
/sys/module/hdpvr/parameters/hdpvr_debug -- 1

Unfortunately, there was nothing in dmesg when lockup happened. The only
way i can get an output is when i kill the 'cat' and then dmesg gives
out that -110 message.
