I complained about this privately to one of the DVB maintainers.  He
suggested that I try switching from recording PS to TS files in the
backend setup under advanced recording options for the DVB card.  PS
is the default.  I haven't seen the problem since I made the switch on
Friday, but then again I'd only seen it once in the 2 weeks before
making the change...
