I'm using 2.6.8.1 and it doesn't actually hang at any point but after 5 or 
6 days the irq is disabled for some reason.

After this the only way to get the thing working again seems to be a 
reboot. Never had a hang because of this. Only way I can seem to hang the 
system with the dvb drivers is if I load the nxt6000 module before the dst 
module. That way the system instantly locks hard, no response to anything.

How many interrupts should I be seeing looking at /proc/interrupts while 
viewing a channel btw? I'm getting like 21000 per minute for each card. Is 
this normal? I'm just wondering because I read someone on the list saying 
the airstar gets a fraction of these numbers. So are the bttv cards just 
noisy or did I mess up something, in the bios perhaps?
