[mythtv-users] Firewire caputure issues

Ok, I finally got the 6200 connected and reliably capturing using the
test-mpeg2 program.
In Myth I've got two different scenarios going on.
When I go to LiveTV on the tuner, sometimes I get a picture and other
times I don't. (if I manually tune via the 6200ch program before going
live it usually works) When I do, things work fine (pause, ff, rew)
until I try to change the channel. When I do, the frontend crashes.
Scheduled recordings don't work at all. The backend creates a zero
length file and that's about it.
I''ve tried both point-to-point and broadcast modes for talking to the
firewire, with no difference in the behavior.
System specifics are:
Mythtv 0.18 + libiec + IVTV
Gentoo 2.6.11
Sempron 2800+ in an ECS VT600 MB (VIA chip set)
MX440 Nvidia (AGP 8x) using Xvmc
Avermedia M179
Any ideas?
