MY BAD ! it was not my tv card, but my WEBCAM : I was trying to run mplayer on the webcam by mistake, but previously it would output a bunch of errors, not just freeze the OS !
kamoso and cheese froze as well actually, the webcam was plugged onto another device, and it seems that this messed up the signals; as soon as I plugged the webcam on my MB, everything was solved, I even booted with kernel 3.5.0-30-generic!
