When I watch Brazilian HDTV on VLC, the entire linux system FREEZE randomically. SysReq doesn't work: I needed shutdown my notebook on power button. My video chipset is a intel 965GM with intel Mainboard and mine processor is a Core 2 Duo T6400(Itautec W7650). The USB HDTV Card is based on Dibcom chip STK807X from Prolink (PixelView PlayTV USB SBTVD).
To install the driver I used this tutorial: http://dougsland.livejournal.com/103169.html.

Thanks,
Valdery.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install USB HDTV Card based on this tutorial:http://dougsland.livejournal.com/103169.html
2.Install VLC 1.1.0 
3.Watch HDTV randomically freeze OpenSUSE 11.3 or 11.2.
Actual Results:  
VLC crashes an OpenSUSE freeze.

Expected Results:  
The system freeze. To shutdown only the power button solve.

The trouble occur in any environment: KDE 4.4.4, XFCE 4.6, LXDE or Gnome.

PARTIALLY SOLVED - I discover that watching HDTV in 1-Seg Channels doesn't freeze the notebook. I do not know if watching TV 1-Seg channels in fullscreen mode causes troubles, but so far there has no problem.
