It might be useful to point out that the error message comes from
mpeg2.c, which (I think) is part of libmpeg2. It was my understanding,
reading the release notes, that libmpeg2 would no longer be used in
0.25. Could there be some sort of configuration problem?

Title:
  backend crash after second firewire channel change while watching
  livetv

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  New

Bug description:
  After upgrading to 0.25, I am experience reliable backend crashes when
  using my dch-3200 cable box connected via firewire. The following
  sequence triggers a backend crash every time:

  1. Start watching livetv on firewire input 
  2. Change channel (first channel change works fine)
  3. Change channel again (now backend crashes)

  I believe this problem is present with scheduled recordings as well,
  as I have had a few missed recordings on the firewire input (but most
  of my recordings are on my HVR-1600 QAM tuner, so I am not certain -
  happy to test)

  When the crash happens, mythfrontend reports an "irrecoverable
  recorder error" and the backend restarts (actually appears to restart
  a couple of times?)

  I am using the 0.25-fixes branch of the mythbuntu repos and Ubuntu
  12.04
