I doubt it's anything related - I'm running two Nova-T cards in my
system at the moment, with EIT enabled, and haven't had any crashes.
When I installed the Nova-T-500 I got crashes within a day (it's related
to the on-card USB connection glitching which causes the driver to oops
and mythbackend to lock up).  The only connection with EIT I've had is
that someone else on the v4l-dvb mailing list reported that disabling
EIT had fixed the crashes for them.  I'd already switched my cards back
by then so I've not tried this out myself yet.

Cheers,
        Robin
