I have a Dual-PVR-250 Pundit System Running debian/unstable
I am running mythtv checked out from CVS on Nov 12th @ 1400 GMT
The ivtv driver I'm using was checked out shortly before.

cat /dev/video0 > test0.mpg
cat /dev/video1 > test1.mpg

work as expected, but periodically mythtv is producing 0 byte recordings.

1116193000.nuv

I cant see what might be causing this: any Ideas?
