I had the same problem before !!
Start e.g. xosview and look at the processor load. My problem was the lirc
driver - it used over a long time 100 % cpu usage. I have upgraded to
lirc-0.6.4pre3 and the problem was gone away.

Betreff: [linux-dvb] driver-hang-problem with OSD
Have a bit hesitated to send this in the list, but i did'nt found a solution
myself and i like to hear if others can reproduce it:
In short: Any OSD activity during Replay sooner or later hangs the driver.
I observed this first after upgrading the driver from 22.06. to the actual
one, the old did'nt had this problem.
A diff shows so much changes that i could'nt track it down in the sources,
but a test with the old dvb_firm.h at the new driver made it disappear (but
broke other things instead).
I think it is a timing problem, because it happened sooner with a
KURT/utime-kernel, but after going back to plain 2.4.0 i could reproduce it
as well.
If you like to check for it try using the Progressbar in
Fast-Modes/Trickmodes for more than 40 seconds or so. Also switching menu
on/off several times fast triggered the problem.
The result is, that the driver hangs, but vdr does'nt die (because it's
still
alive and has no idea that the driver hung), Replay stops (lastframe shown).
To restart vdr i need to kill it 3 times and do a rmmod/insmod sequence too.
During the first time - black screen, the second time black screen with
"convergence" info, the third time makes the video visible again and after
reloading the driver it works again.
Has someone observed the same? (Could it be related to a special
card-version?)
I know that the OSD is (now) just a addon, but it makes really sense to a
lot
of us, so it would be great if we can fix that one. (If not the
driver-developers maybe we ourselfes).
