i'd the same experience and was told the receiver may be of the wrong kind.
actually, there is the effect that restarting dvbd leads to nothing 
than outputs that looks allright.
unloading and reloading the dvb-card-drivers is the only way to get 
things back to work, that's my experience.
how are you connected to internet? leased line, constant ip, modem or 
isdn, dynamic ip?
if dynamic ip, do you un- and reload dvbd everytime ppp-connection 
goes down and up (/etc/ppp/ip-up) ?
