The real solution would be to fix the driver.
I really can't understand why the driver refuses to receive
a given channel after there have been many transponder changes
due to the EPG scan.

BTW: here on my system the EPG scan runs around the clock on my second
(Win-TV NOVA-S) and third (Siemens DVB-S 1.3) card, and I don't remember
when the last time was that a restart due to a recording on one of
these cards happened...

I don't think this is related to your problem.
