Media_build of V4L to get it to work properly.  I only got this card so I
could do some test builds without having to pull my main box to bits each
time and have not really used it for more than test recording yet though.
 The only issue I found with it is that while getting it set up with the
right V4L drivers and firmware it got into a bad state for me and required
me to unpower it by pulling it out of USB and plugging it back in to get it
detect fine but it seemed to work fine after that.

Yup. I've ordered a wandtv usb dvb-t from a guy on trademe (
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=523366153). Will report
back in due course.

Am running xfs with noatime and nodirtime, on a separate disc from the
database and backend. Should not be the issue.

Finally, I like the idea of trying a non mythtv recording to also check for
a non-myth cause of this.  Will report back results.
