I doubt that it has something to do with EPG per se. The EPG scan just
happens to tune to all possible channels and is therefore more likely to
hit the bug. IMO it is a tuning bug - not a EPG problem.
By the way: reloading dvb-ttpci.o gets the card going again.

Unfortunately my DVB-T card isn't supported by the old driver so I
cannot test it with the old ones.
