I've never gotten the problem to go away.

I can trigger it much more easily the more the machine is doing.  The
CPU never breaks a sweat which is why I think it's more likely a bus
issue (and hence am more likely to blame my fairly cheap motherboard
that I got for free with my decent CPU).  I don't think it's a really
common problem, but I don't think I'm the only one.  The people with the
problem are fairly small in number though (you make a definite 2 but I'm
sure there are a few others)...

Anyway, if I record two shows at once and watch another it'll trigger
it.  Maybe.  And frequently if I'm watching a show *before* the
recordings start, it doesn't have an issue.  It's often only when I try
to starting watching a recording (or doing just about anything with the
system actually, including playing something like supertux) and the
system is already recording something that the failures start.  Right
now, the machine has been up for 9 days because we haven't watched much
when the machines been busy recording.

JM> No, not a VIA chipset (as far as I can tell).

  lsmod | grep via

will likely tell you.  If you have via_rhine or sata_via installed, eg,
you might have a via chipset.

I'm very much interested to know if you have issues with a different chipset!
