My current hypothesis is that the via usb host controller resets under 
some unknown conditions. Michael Krufky has one report of a similar 
issue with the DViCO FusionHDTV Dual Digital 2 which uses the same USB 
host controller. I found a post in an australian mce forum which 
suggests that the via usb chip s troublesome 
(http://www.xpmediacentre.com.au/community/tv-tuners-digital-analogue/15203-dvico-dual-4-a.html#post109478).

I don't think a driver rewrite will help.

I had not a single crash in the last two weeks. I use following patch to 
disable the eit scan for both the Nova-T 500 adapters: 
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/2741

btw: disabling the scan on only one of the adapters didn't help.
