Hey all,

  Last night, while fast forwarding through a recorded show, my PVR-350
locked up and started spitting 

"1000 ms time out waiting for firmware" and
"Failed api call 0x00000044 with result 0xfffffff0"

errors out.

  I'm running MythTV on FC3 (2.6.10-1.770_14.rhfc3.at), and ivtv 0.3.2.s
and used Jarod's guide for the install. I've also done the suggested
tweak of making the power button kill the mythfrontend and restart it.
The problem was, I could kill and restart the mythfrontend, but the
pvr-350 was just not going to work and I eventually had to reboot, which
is a shame because I had been running for something like 2 weeks with no
problems.

  My question is, when the pvr gets so locked up, is there a set of
ivtvctl calls that can be made to reset it?  I'd love to just add some
ctl calls to my power button script to re-set the tuner on "soft
restart".  I can't unload ivtv or ivtv-fb because it is in use, as I use
the PVR-350 tv out for my screen.

  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  Also, do any driver versions support stable commercial skipping? I
need to FF through commercials because my 350 locks up pretty reliably
after 2 or 3 commercial skips.

-Ed
