I'd been pretty stable with a single pvr-350 for a couple months with r5a12 so I decided to make my life complicated by getting a pvr-150mce for $70 from newegg about 2 months ago. It didn't take me long to get it working with 0.3.3 ivtv drivers but I've been pestered with the dreaded "waiting for firmware" lockups. These happened vary infrequently and usually at 2am when the 150mce was starting a recording. Sometimes it would recover from this. Not a huge problem and one I'm sure will be corrected as ivtv develops a new stable release.
I started noticing some strange behavior when watching a non-commercial flagged show (live or while recording). When a commercial break started and I attempted to skip forward the clock on the OSD would show the time+30 seconds but it would actually skip backwards. This didn't happen all the time and I've come to the conclusion that it only occurs on the 150mce recordings. After reading a bunch of really old posts (2003) I realized that this is most likely due to a discrepancy in where the decoder thinks it is and where it actually is. Most cases I read about were PAL/NTSC related because of the difference in frame rates. I'm NTSC and both cards are being configured as such but not seeing any other problems like this is worrisome. I've gotten no response from ivtv-devel list so my concerns are growing.
Here's my current setup:
