A newer version might actually help. They changed the dynamic buffer's to off by
default. That may help you since that looks like a buffer problem.

Hi all,
After running essentially cleanly for a could of months ivtv has
suddenly started failing with this message every night:

The result is that recorded shows play until they get to a bad
point at which time they skip forward like they are being fast
forwarded.
Distro is Gentoo. Kernel -s 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 and has't been changed
in 2 months. Hardware is a PVR-150 + PVR-250.
This is ivtv-0.3.7 which is getting a bit behind today's
ivtv-0..3.9 version, but it's worked great for so long. Why should it
start dieing now?
I'm fine with building something newer if there's a known fix, or
even if there isn't. I'm getting desperate after 3 days of failed
recordings. But can someone possibly first tell me what this error
message means?
I did try rebuilding ivtv but that didn't fix the problem.
Thanks,
Mark
