I think it may have something to do with using the framebuffer...  but
may be only loosely associated.  I have a pundit-r with PVR-350 and
PVR-500mce installed.  Running 0.3.2q drivers.  With only the 350
enabled in mythtv, the 350 runs fine- records, does live tv, fb-out,
but does have random locking after commercial skips...  The 500 is a
different story.  Tuner 1 will record OK in myth and I can cat
/dev/video1 > /tmp/test_capture.mpg just fine.  Watching live TV with
tuner 1 of the 500 will crash out with the errors:

With tuner 2, I get similar errors when I just try to cat /dev/video2
> /tmp/test_capture.mpg, and on occasion it can be enough to hard lock
the system.  Other times, I get a test_capture.mpg of size=0.  Other
times, the test_capture.mpg is small, a few 100kb and when I look at
the file, it's a few frames.  The error is similar to above.  If I try
to record from mythtv with tuner 2, from a 1/2 hr show I get a file of
a few 100mb that looks like several still frames, evenly? spaced
throughout the show.

I also am willing to pull cards out, skip the 350fb-out, supply logs,
apply patches...
