[mythtv-users] PVR-350 locking problems

I installed the PVR-350 today and the setup is (mostly) painless, but
I think I'm seeing the same freezing problem others are encountering.
Whenever I go to the guide (for instance) or often when I try to back
out of live TV, it will freeze.  The backend log says nothing, but the
frontend log has lots of this:

...

and so forth over and over.  At this point, I can kill mythfrontend,
but I need to reboot because ivtv gets into a bad state and won't
display anything in X, even if I restart it.

Any clues?

Cheers,
Kyle
