Look for the line

	controlreg |= 0x1b;

in drivers/media/dvb/bt8xx/bt878.c and change it to

	controlreg |= 0x13;

That works for me.  It lowers the fifo-threshold at which the DMA
controller starts its DMA cycle.  I don't know why this happens
with newer kernels.  With 2.6.8 (SuSE-9.2 kernel) everything was
fine ...

I'll make a patch with some other stuff (for cx24110 and bttv) when
2.6.13 is out.
