Sorry about my previous empty, post.   Its what I get for trying to use
outlook express instead of rebooting back to my linux and responding
using a real email client.

How do you have your IVTV card configured in mythtv?   Do you have it
configured as a MPEG2 card or as a V4L card?   I fixed a similar problem
with my friends mythtv setup as it had defaulted to a standard V4l
config for the card, as he hadn't changed it to being a MPEG2 card.   He
had problems with capturing only 4 seconds of info when watching live
tv, and it then it would stop recording.   And it turned out to be his
having the PVR500 configured in mythtv as a V4l card and not as an MPEG2
card.
