There was a post to linux-dvb (which was reposted here a few days ago):

"I have adapter0 with passive EIT scanning, and 0 delay, and adapter1
with Active EIT scanning and 150ms of tuning delay. That solved the
tuner-losing stuff and also I have my EIT fully populated."

Seems more like a work-around, but if it works, hey!
