I'm not conviced it's the new card that is at fault. I had a rock-solid system
with one older PVR-350 card. I bought a second about a year later which
required a much newer version of the kernel to support the new tuner type.
Along with that update came new versions of ivtv, ivtvdev, ivtv-kmdl, etc.
That's when my lockups started. Pulling the new card out my machine doesn't
make the lockups go away.
