Post subject:  ivtv stream buffers full: tv freezes, dumps back to desktop

it hasn't happened while I've been watching yet, but I checked the log files and found this to correspond to precisely the time when I was told the tv crashed (and my roommates missed the last 5 minutes of law and order.. which is apparently unacceptable if we're going to keep this myth box)

Code:
Aug 14 20:53:24 mythtv kernel: ivtv0: All encoder MPEG stream buffers are full. Dropping data.
Aug 14 20:53:25 mythtv kernel: ivtv0: Cause: the application is not reading fast enough.
Aug 14 20:54:16 mythtv kernel: ivtv0: All encoder MPEG stream buffers are full. Dropping data.
Aug 14 20:54:16 mythtv kernel: ivtv0: Cause: the application is not reading fast enough.
Aug 14 20:54:26 mythtv kernel: ivtv0: All encoder MPEG stream buffers are full. Dropping data.
Aug 14 20:54:28 mythtv kernel: ivtv0: Cause: the application is not reading fast enough.
Aug 14 20:54:38 mythtv kernel: ivtv0: All encoder MPEG stream buffers are full. Dropping data.

Aug 14 20:54:44 mythtv kernel: ivtv0: All encoder MPEG stream buffers are full. Dropping data.
Aug 14 20:54:44 mythtv kernel: ivtv0: Cause: the application is not reading fast enough.
Aug 14 20:56:33 mythtv kernel: ivtv0: All encoder MPEG stream buffers are full. Dropping data.
Aug 14 20:56:34 mythtv kernel: ivtv0: Cause: the application is not reading fast enough.


I've also noticed that i'm having trouble auto-expireing files (log says they're nonexistant even though they're there, and permissions seem to allow write access (the .mpg's are owned by mythtv and only the owner has write permission)

any ideas why ivtv is giving that error?
