It must be something weird, because even if no data is coming from the 
demod anymore, the timerIRQ (at least used in flexcop-driver, afaik in 
skystar2.c too) should still occure. (the cur_address should stay the same 
in that case) So demod errors should not interfere the IRQ-behaviour, 
shouldn't they?

Once I asked them about randomly IRQ-stops, but they never have such a bug 
report from a windows user, thus they never had to investigate it. I 
will second that question... Stay tuned :).
