Exactly what errors are you seeing? I2c write errors in dmesg?
No, nothing in the kernel logs, which is what I would expect if the hardware
was crashing in some way. Maybe it /was/ just that MythTV was using a tuner
for EIT and so it couldn't stop the EIT scan to use it for a recording after
all.
I'll amend that; I am seeing some i2c *read* errors:

But the timings don't seem to correspond with the start time of the failed
recordings, only boots. I'd written them off as being "normal", but in the
interests of completeness...
Best Regards,
