There are several possible causes
1) Bad weather causing a problem with the signal.
2) Bug in myth causing the datapath from the DVB card to the HD to be
interrupted.
3) Bug in the DVB driver.
4) Bug in the Linux kernel.

I suspect (1) to be the most likely cause, but there are no signal
quality reports in the log, so it might be (2).
