I wrote my own application to get epg. I call the usual SetFiltSection()
in a loop to get the package for the currently tuned channel. After too many
calls (>30-40??) the card (nova) hangs, too. Module reloading doesn't fix
the problem. Since I don't have to wait a long time to replicate the problem
I could post more information if they were helpful, so let me know...
