Comment(by Matthias Dahl <devel at mortal-soul.de>):

 Thanks panachoi for reporting back. The patch above does _not_ actually
 fix the underlying problem if there is any at all. It just makes MythTV
 keep going in case there hasn't been any data for a period of time. You'll
 very likely experience corruption of that particular recording at that
 specific position.

 I'd like give another idea a try that I had after looking over the dvb
 sources and some more over the DeviceReadBuffer. It'd be great if any of
 you guys could try a new patch I'll post ASAP hopefully, depending on how
 quickly I can start working on it. (Un)fortunately I can no longer
 reproduce the problem on my machine, so it's hard to track it down.

 One more thing: Could you please try either kernel 2.6.30.6 or 2.6.31,
 just to make sure if the poll related fix that went in there changes
 things.

 Last but not least: With the patch above applied, you will see a log
 message like "No data seen for xx msecs." where xx is the number of msecs
 instead of MythTV stopping the recording. Could you please post some
 figures including other error messages that happened around that time
 frame? Thanks. (needs MythTV run w/ at least important and record log
 messages enabled)
