Try moving the capture card to a different PCI slot.

I had the same trouble with a hauppage bt878 card when it was in a slot
which, according to my motherboard manual, shares DMA request signals with
an adjacent PCI slot.  (slots 4 and 5 on my Asus MB).

Is there a bttv or v4l FAQ that this could be added to?

I believe the risc_count number is related to the 848/878 chip's inernal
RISC microcoded DMA sequencer.  I'm guessing that the fact that the
risc_count isn't changing means that the card isn't able to accomplish any
DMA at all.

Incidently, "PLL: 28636363 => 35468950 ... ok" means that your application
is requesting or taking the default of 625/50 (usually PAL) video, and the
card is generating the pixel clock for that rate.  If your TV standard is
525/60 (usually NTSC), be sure to explicitly select that option.

Steve
