Then I'm sorry, no idea, the CLE266 driver is binary, so no way to look
into it, I don't think the problem is with myth or HDD or anything.

I had it running, and stable that is, till last monday. So the problem
seems to be with gentoo and the binary drivers. There's nothing in
messages?

I know that one too well. Switched to PVR350 output. This is not stable,
either. As a matter of fact, the CLE was more stable (up to yesterday,
data for today looks promising though, have to stop answering the list
and switch channels a bit). But I don't think the CLE driver has nearly
as much ongoing development as the pvr.
