My mythtv runs very stable, but in the last two days I had several
segfaults  because my cable provider do some maintenance work for
highspeed internet over cable. I have seen that the signal quality has
decreased and femon shows uncorrectable errors.

But in my case I don't think is really a problem with mythtv. If I start
it new the segfaults occurs faster and the "Started pespaket but
!payloadstart" messages are show more often and after sometime I can't
tune to any channel anymore. I have to reload my dvb driver to fix it and
I hope my provider fix his problem too.

I use the dvb_ttpci (Frontend ST STV0297 DVB-C) from the
v4l-dvb-stable-381659417f13 packet from linuxtv.org for my technotrend
dvb-c 2300.
