[mythtv-users] Driver quits responding?

I have an HVR-1600 on a Pentium 4 2Ghz machine here running Mythbuntu
7.10.

I am having some issues with LiveTv however. I keep seeing this in the
backend log and it seems to correlate with the pauses I'm seeing while
watching LiveTv.

MPEGRec(/dev/video0) Error: select timeout - ivtv driver has stopped
responding.

I do think it is something in my Myth setup because I can play live tv
directly from /dev/video mplayer or vlc without any hangups.

Any suggestions out there?
