Are you using recent drivers. Do you use transfer mode between to cards. Do 
you use DVB-T? Do old drivers / firmware  from 0.9.4 crash within 3 hours?

I can confirm an issue here with a rev 1.3 card and new drivers (i.e. late 
2002+) where the ARM will crash from anything between one and twenty hours 
using transfer mode (replaying live channel / recording) and switching 
between channels. First there will be outcomm errors that delay channel 
changes, eventually the ARM crashes. Could be some sort of "memory leak" on 
the internal video memory or something - it that's possible - as it doesn't 
happen with any specific recordings just sporadic after some use.
