I've noticed this lately too with a couple recordings I've made recently, I
think its due more to bad data being written since adding my 3rd tuner has
overloaded my single drive being used for my recordings.
You say firewire seems to record ok, have you tried doing a manual record with
the dvb-tools apps to see if its Myth or something else?

Not for an extended time. I'll give that a try. Also, the other night I recorded two shows using both my hd3000 and my pvr-250. Both 3000 recordings froze, but the 250's were fine.
So, I did a test capture tuning with azap and then played it back using mplayer. Sure enough, same problem. I did this three times and each time is "froze" in the same place. Looking at the logs, I see a ton of "a52: CRC check failed!" but it finally hiccups when this message appears:
alsa-space: xrun of at least 0.119 msecs. resetting stream
Followed by:
Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed?4 0
For AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with the -ni option.
And finally:
alsa-uninit: pcm closed
I tried using the -ni option and get all the sames messages, except the one about using the -ni option. Finally, I tried watching until just before the hiccup and then skipping forward. As before, this avoided the *freeze* however, unlike with myth where this would result in video with no sound, mplayer had both video and sound.
Does that help to track this down?
