I have this card (lspci reports pciid 14f1:8852, subsystem 18ac:db78) and the Dual Digital 4 (lsusb 0fe9:db78). I had a few problems similar to this (on Nine in Sydney, particularly) until Mauro applied some patches to fix some weirdness in the calculations of the tuning offsets, a few months ago now. Now they are running reliably. I don't know if the patches have made it into mainstream distro kernels yet, but you should have them if you are building the dvb drivers from the mercurial tree against the kernel you have. You may want to try dvbsnoop (http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Dvbsnoop) to check on the mpeg streams. I haven't used it myself...
