Thanks for the suggestions; I'll investigate further. One other oddity I noticed: the last time the i2c errors were logged, rather than immediately rebooting I unplugged the 290e. There is a blue LED on the 290e, which of course went out when it was unplugged. However, it didn't come back on when I plugged it back in. I had to reboot to get it to show again. Both of my other tuners are USB tuners, so I don't think this is a USB problem (I have no problems with them). However, I'll try the USB MD5 test and report back.
