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

 Guys, could you please try the new patch above? Turn on logging of at
 least important and recording related messages and watch out for any error
 msg which comes from the DeviceReadBuffer (log msgs prefixed w/ DevRdB).

 Be advised, the patch has only been compile tested so far, so don't put it
 on a production box, even though I am going to. :) In theory it should
 make MythTV more resilient against certain error conditions and should
 speed up transfer of the ts packets from the device's buffer.

 Could you also please check your old logs if you saw any messages that the
 device buffers overflowed approx. around the time frame the stream handler
 died?

 Thanks for testing and please report back.
