And that's with me running continual stress tests too. I've had both PVR-150's running almost continually with VBI turned on, MythTV's been transcoding continually, I've had nuvexport transcoding as well, and just for good measure I wrote a quick script to continually push and pull some 1GB files between my workstation and the Myth box for the last few days...my poor baby didn't know what hit her! If I was a betting man, I'd be putting my money on the VIA chipset being the root of my IVTV problems.
