I have mythtv running on my pc with a pvr250 but if I start using menus (pressing m and navigating the tv programme) it will suddenly hang the pc with the harddisk led on. Resetting the pc is the only way out of the dead-lock. I am running the ivtv 0.2.0-rc3 (0.3.1 does the same to my system).

I was having a similar problem at first. I finally figured out that, for some reason, one of my two tuner cards was using the same IRQ as the onboard Firewire ports. Apparently, this massively confused ivtv, as I would get DMA errors, and then ivtv would unregister the IRQ, which then caused the Firewire driver to hang up the system.


I solved the problem by moving the tuner card to another slot. I'd suggest you look at the output of "lspci -v", to see if there are things using the same IRQ as your PVR-250.
