I guess you're running with EIT scanning enabled? Disabling this will
dramatically reduce the number of resets (I get about one a month with
my two cards).

What kernel are you using? I'm using 2.6.21 and HG drivers and the disconnects are way less frequent than before, even with EIT scanning activated in MythTV. Currently most days the system doesn't experience any, it's just about one per week now.
These are my machine specs:
· Asus Pundit P1-AH2 (AMD 3800 - 64 bit)
· 1GB RAM
· 1 PCI slot filled with Nova-T 500 (the other one is free)
· Sabayon 3.3 x86 (32 bit edition), with kernel upgraded to 2.6.21
The system is now rock stable, with only a (very) few disconnects, as said before. It's not a 24/24 server, but it's mostly on during the day, and EIT scanning is on and working fine.
BTW, someone posted some days ago that he had a script that monitorizes 'dmesg' and restarts automatically MythTV backend what it detects the mt2060 read/write error. It would be great if he could share it, I'd really be interested :D.
