The timeout started again today, when I went to watch Live TV in myth:

(from mythbackend.log)

2008-09-01 09:06:39.205 TVRec(3): Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV
2008-09-01 09:06:39.224 TVRec(3): HW Tuner: 3->3

Not ivtv driver??

---------

As I repeatedly tried to watch, sometimes I would see the LED on the
pvr box blink as if it was being reset, and sometimes I would NOT see
it blink.

But, interestingly, there is nothing emitted into the kernel log by
pvrusb2 during this time.  Similar to my previous experiences, the
pvrusb2 driver isn't logging any attempt to reset the device.

To recover the driver, I simply unplug and plug the USB connection to
the device.  The pvrusb2 driver reloads, and it works just fine!
