To be exact: You have the same error messages ;-)

That sounds like the problem i have with my "single LNB" 
environment: If i enabled EPG scan, after an hour the 
Video stream breaks.

So only users with diseqc enabled have that problem?

And why he didn't had/don't have the problem with 1.3.17?
Was diseqc handling introduced with 1.3.18ff?
