As I wrote in the dvb mailing list: I have two rev. 1.3 cards and I had 
a lot of problems mit the dvb-kernel driver.
Since I replaced the ves1x93 driver with a slightly moded old alps_bsrv2 
frontend driver I have _zero_ problems. Zero fw_command_errors. Zero arm 
crashes.

I believe that the ves1x93 is the "evil".  :-)
