Maybe a hint, maybe a nothing:

I almost never saw the driver crashes. I use vdr very reliably. And if
something went wrong it was a vdr segmentation fault, which can be
handled by a trivail script which restarts vdr after a crasch (yes it
exited almost every time).
Yesterday I had 3 driver crashes while watching one 45min recording. The
recording is ok, I watched the first 15 minutes a while ago with no
problems. 
But I have no sattelite input signal currently! I hadn`t time to find
out why, but I guess my dish has been turnd by a heavy wind.

Can it be, that the driver is confused by having no signal, even when
replaying?
Can it be that the difference between the machines is the ammount of
pid`s in the config that contain no transmission? I saw these 
  Feb 11 08:45:58 wald5 vdr[4656]: ERROR: channel 5 not sync'ed
(front.sync=0)!
  Feb 11 08:45:58 wald5 vdr[4656]: retrying
in your logfile.


Just an idea, 
maybe its another thing, especially since I use much older versions: 

Being frightend reading all the problem reports i didn`t upgrade for
some time, even if I`m very interested in the integrated cutting
solution and videotext. I still use vdr 0.68, dvb 0.80, kernal 2.2.13. 
Since I now saw the problems in this configuration, maybe I have chances
not to have them with the newest version and a good signal? I`ll try.

But I think it`s really worth a thouhgt.
