I have two suggestions: first edit ivtv-irq.c: search for the 
ivtv_dma_enc_start function, at the end of this function you see this 
line:

itv->dma_timer.expires = jiffies + HZ / 10;

Remove ' / 10'. Compile, install, etc. and see if the TIMEOUT returns.

If so, then install the v4l-dvb repository. See 
http://www.ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Download#Bleeding_Edge_driver on 
how to install v4l-dvb.

If it still happens with that version, then let me know. In that case I 
will need high volume debug logs.

The fact that 0.10.1 keeps on running suggests that something else might 
be going on here then 'just' a DMA timeout.
