Hmm, my skystar2 rev 2.6c/stv0299 dies within 2-3h, but my nova (like
budget-ci) and my ff rev 1.5 sometimes run for ~12h...

i have seen the skystar2 irq_handler calls dvb_dmx_swfilter_packets() more
often than the other cards

if (adapter->capturing != 0) {
   dvb_dmx_swfilter_packets(dvbdmx, pb_dma_buf_cur_pos,
dw_default_packet_size / 188);
  }

at: "u32 dw_default_packet_size = 188;"

so i think every call deliver one packet.

The nova and ff cards seems to deliver more than one packet per call.
