My recordings 'hiccup' every 2-10 minutes or so.  The hiccup is a jump in the recording of probably just a few seconds.  I believe that mythtv detects that reading from the device has failed and restarts the read. These interruptions are annoying but I don't have a machine to dedicate to this purpose, so I'm stuck with them.  If there's anything that I can do to help diagnose this problem please let me know.

What happens if you pin the ivtv domain to a CPU that no other domains run on? E.g., ivtv on cpu1 and all others on cpu0? Perhaps preemption latency is an issue.
