I can confirm that i have this exact same problem with a full featured TT 1.3 Rev board with 
almost any 2.6 driver version i can remember of, CVS or official kernels. (since at least 2.6.5, i'd say).

So, so far, i'm "stuck" with 2.4 linux-dvb drivers.

As my video directory is NFS mounted, i have *much better* performance when using 2.6 client <-> 2.6 NFS server
than compared with 2.4 client <-> 2.6 NFS server, especially when editing some recordings.
I've tried various NFS fixes and updates (NFS_ALL from Trond)without success.
So, right now, i just decided to live with this sub-optimal setup as long as it is fairly stable.

So until the audio/video blackouts are solved (i'll happily test any patch :), i have no other option than to stay with
2003-08-11 linux-dvb driver.

Truly yours,

Philippe
