Hi all
I have had a problem with my PVR-500 which I was able to solve by
patching the kernel.
The messages about "[ivtv-users] WinTV PVR-500 stops recording after
some minutes (ivtv0: DMA TIMEOUT)" here on the list describe my
problem and Andy's solutions. Thanks again!
Unfortunately my system still has problems when recording.
It crashes from time to time and reboots automatically or just Freezes
after writing some error messages (I could take a photo of them if
you'd
want to know them).
I don't have time for a proper reply, but here is some reading for you:

It's all very disheartening. You essentially have to experiment your
way through an enormous amount of unkonws to figure out why the PCI
chipset on your motherboard is unhappy enough to reboot the system. All
with no error logging about the triggering event. The labor cost alone
is probably more than the price of another Desktp PC with a new video
card.
In the end, Jeroen did actaully find the problem on his system. It was
caused by a change in the kernel that modified the way his motherboard
PCI chipset was set up.
Thanks for the reply!
Unfortunately I can't spent that much time trying to locate the error.
Is it correct that the problem is caused by the card and that there
should be no problems with the PVR-150?
How are the chances that the PVR-500 works on a different mainboard?
Best regards
Ramon
Btw: Sorry Andy for only replying to you the first time!

Providing you get a mainboard without the bug that is causing you the
bus errors... you should have a very good chance... I have two pvr-500s
running personally with no problem...
