I suspect I'm going to need to set up some data collection.  I'm running
Gentoo, and it appears that though I'm running lm_sensors-2.10.7 at the
moment, I have lm_sensors-3.1.1 available, so I need to look into logging.

In addition, though I don't know if I need it any longer, I'm still
using the supplemental "tune.sh" script at mythbackend startup that does
a dummy capture or two on each card, and throws it away.  This is/was
because the audio didn't work right on the first capture.  I need to
beef up this script to collect some statistics, and in particular add
Andy's suggested "v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --log-status" as a normal part.

There look to be 4 parts...
1 - Build up a more detailed picture of "normal"
2 - Keep current boot statistics so if it turns out that I have the
dread red screen, I can compare that with a normal boot.
3 - Autodetect problems so I can recover promptly, and not lose recordings.
4 - Figure out what the real problem is.

It looks like it starts with adding data collection to "tune.sh" and
adding logging to lm_sensors.
