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.
