Thank you I have upgraded to 2.6.36-gentoo-r5 and will give it a test drive.

This is a fairly recent problem that I am having. This machine

When I have the issue, the tuner stops working all together.
Mythtv no longer records on that specific tuner, LiveTV locks up
and the only fix is to reboot. Some of the other tuners still
function however.
Not sure if these messages are related:

I recently upgraded my processor from an AMD 3200+ single core to
a 3800+ dual core. I also had to recompile the kernel to enable
SMP. This may or may not be related but its the only recent
changes to this machine.
My system:
Gentoo
uname = Linux mythtv 2.6.31-gentoo-r6 #6 SMP Wed Dec 22 18:08:38
EST 2010 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+
AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
Motherboard = Asus A8N32-SLI-Deluxe
CPU = AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+
2 PVR-500's
ivtv driver version 1.4.1
mythtv version 0.23_alpha24158
Let me know what other information you need.
I have a similar configuration as you--a 5 year old AMD system on an
Asus mobo with a PVR-500 running Gentoo. I had a bout with the same
problem last year, but the occurrence seems to have slowed down
significantly lately (knock on wood). Apparently it's an old problem
that's never been satisfactorily solved; I came across this old
mailing list post that contains a patch to address the problem (with
side effects, natch).
http://ivtvdriver.org/pipermail/ivtv-users/2007-June/006627.html Maybe
Andy has some better ideas.
Hmm... I just had a thought. Now that the ivtv drivers are in-kernel,
I wonder if your kernel version could affect it. I generally keep
current with the stable kernel releases (as long as there's no
conficts with, say, lirc). Right now I'm running 2.6.34-gentoo-r12,
but I was running an earlier kernel when I was having more problems.
Might be worth a shot to upgrade and see if it helps.
