To be honest I haven't come across something like this before. When cat
stops, do you mean that it hangs or that it just returns and you got
the shell prompt? If you run 'cat' again, does it actually continue
capturing? Does the same thing happen if MythTV is not running at all?
(just to make sure there is no interference between MythTV and cat)
Also try to turn on debugging in ivtv (make sure that MythTV isn't
running): 'ivtv-ctl -D0x413'. You will get a lot of messages in your
kernel log, but when cat stops then mail me the last 200 lines of the
ivtv debugging in the kernel log. That should hopefully give some
information on what's happening.
