Yesterday I again got this error resulting in a shutdown, and the resulting
video was the same 15:09. When I powered on the computer, I started getting
messages like this:
usb 1-7: device descriptor read/64, error -110
They showed up after the POST but before fedora shows the startup progress
bar. I've seen these errors before; I will see about 12-15 error messages
that take about 3-4 minutes to show up. What I did was shut off the HD-PVR
knowing that it was in a bad state, and the error messages immediately
ceased and fedora loaded.
This leads me to a question: do you leave your HD-PVR on 24/7, or do you
power it on when needed? I find that I have to power cycle the HD-PVR when
these errors polling errors crop up en masse. I was thinking of using an IR
blaster to power on and off the HD-PVR when necessary with MythTv (assuming
that I can set up Myth to power on the HD-PVR when a show is to be
recorded).
