I'm using driver (budeget-ci) from original Fedora Core 2 kernel 
2.6.5-1.358 (card is Hauppauge Nova-S). But the driver isn't totaly 
stuck, while it's sufficient to kill vls wait till kernel process 
[kdvb-fe-0:0] ends (takes about 2 seconds) and start it  immediately 
again, then it works another hours or days.
I could mak some script to periodicaly check if vls is streaming out and 
in case it's not to kill and start it again. But this is not very clean 
solution.
