Thanks for the tip Brandon, the problem was indeed related to the video drivers. I was using the HDTV-out cable on my card, and the drivers unfortunately don't support most of the video acceleration stuff that mplayer and other software is trying to do. Everything worked fine when I hooked my regular VGA monitor up instead of my HDTV. That means I need to go out and buy a VGA-to-component transcoder :^(

If you can read data just fine and it doesn't lock when not using xine-hd or tvtime then it's not likely at all to be the pchdtv driver. Check your logs after the reboot, anything odd in them? What kernel are you using? What versions of tvtime, xine-hd? What happens if you try to start xine-hd or tvtime without the pchdtv card installed, or just rmmod the driver before you start them, what happens? My /guess/ is it's more video card related, rather than the pchdtv driver causing the locking. What video card, driver, and X server are you using?
