My DVB-S test machine uses szap/dvbnet to receive data, and it's been up
for 16 days and still going strong (without any re-tuning).  IIRC dvbnet
is the stock Debian Etch package, and szap and friends were latest
dvb-apps from the repository.

I haven't used dvbtune on this particular box, but I have used it with
the same card (TT S-1401) with similar results.

Could it be your DVB driver that is unstable?

Cheers,
Chris
