Yes, I had the same problem (looks like anyway).  If you run dmesg
you'll probably get a clearer stack trace.  Anyway, mine was due to USB
disconnects (between the USB bridge and the chipset - both on the Nova-T
itself).  The DVB stack doesn't handle hot-plug events so the result is
kernel oopses and mythbackend hanging.  I've had to swap the cards out
for my old Nova-Ts for now - I'm currently putting together a dual boot
system to test these out under XP and do some USB snooping.  Hopefully
this'll help with both the crashing and getting the remote working.

Cheers,
        Robin
