Do you have a log, how exactly the crash looks like? Can you please post 
the kernel oops messages?

Usually crashes in conjunction with mplayer and xine are not related to 
the DVB drivers but to the video output, try another render target (e.g. 
OpenGL if you're using XVideo, XRender, X11 or raw software playback as 
fallback to test where exactly the problem is).

Especially the XVideo output has been prone to crashes in all known 
players, usually the machine simply freezes or reboots without emitting 
any usable debug kernel output.
