[mythtv-users] System hangs when watching tv

[Ozzy]

I had the exact same problem with 3 diff flavors, Mythdora, Knoppmyth,
and then the distro i went with, Mythbuntu

Tried every single thing that google would point me at, what it finally
wound up being was an IRQ conflict between 2 PVR-150 cards and my
onboard 8300 video.

My motherboard has 3 PCI slots, whenever i build a system i am
accustomed to putting as much space between cards as possible, so, on my
ASUS M3N78 Pro i placed the 150's in PCI slot 1 & 3. Everything worked
great with the exception of random live tv lockups (no rhyme or reason,
totally random)

Upon moving card 2 to pci slot 2 next to card 1, no more lockups :)
