I'm running trunk r16776 built on Ubuntu Gutsy. Two Technisat S-1401 cards 
with three virtual tuners each.

Haven't seen any tuning problems or crashes, it's been stable for us since 
shortly after multirec was merged.

There is an issue if there's a recording in progress and you're using the 
avoid conflicts between livetv and recordings option. You can get stuck on 
one multiplex and not be able to watch livetv from the other. We don't use 
livetv all that much so it's not too much of an issue.
