I went back to 0.10.3, where I get soft errors for a while as a
warning before the killing stroke. They go in this pattern:

Nov 13 20:47:33 localhost kernel: ivtv1 warning: ENC DMA ERROR b
Nov 13 20:47:33 localhost kernel: ivtv1 warning: encoder VBI:
Couldn't find start of buffer within the first 256 bytes

If you think there's hope in a later or experimental branch, let
me know and I'll try it out.

If you think it's a hardware issue, let me know that, too,
please, so I can go get something else that will work more
reliably.
