Hi all

Interested in everyone's current experience on DVB-S and stability. I turned
mine off when the first round of instability was noted (was using 12671) and
then tried again briefly about 3-4 weeks ago (using 12483) but stopped as I
still has memory usage shooting through the roof. What I want to know is, if
you're using DVB-S:

1) Which transceiver (12483/12671)
2) Which Mythtv (0.19, 0.20 etc)
3) How stable or how often it crashes while recording DVB-S
4) Any extra info (perhaps you have created a huge swap partition etc)

I would wait until D1 comes up but I'm not sure it will actually fix anything,
and I'm getting really tired of relying on 1 analogue tuner.
