TVHeadend Server sleep of death

Hi,

I've got thre Pis here at home, one is running as a radio, one as a HTPC and one as a TVHeadend Server.
The Server Pi has a problem, it goes unresponsive after a certain time, sometimes that time is quite long, mostly it's about 24 hours. The Pi is running the newest raspbian and the latest TVHeadend version. When it goes unresponsive all the lights stay on, but I can't SSH into it anymore and it drops out of the Network. I assume the Pi turns off the ethernet. I tried to use watchdog to reboot it when this happens, but that did not help. Watchdog does not reboot the Pi.
If I activate the Ping test in Watchdog then it goes into reboot loop, so that does not help either.

The Pi is running headless, so I can't figure out what is killing it.

I'd be more than happy for any advice! It isn't a hardware problem, another of my Pis has the same problem if I used it as TVHeadend server (DVB-S card with own power supply connected).

Thanks.

Sorry, I haven't got any ideas for you. In fact, I have a Q for you.
If you are running Raspbian Wheezy, would you mind telling me howto get and build Tvheadend correctly?

I have tried to do this twice and it wont work.
Ofcourse I would love it if someone also would help me get all the V4L drivers also, but that is just another ball game too.

The error went away after a new firmware came out in January. Apparently is was a problem with the Pi somewhere, not TVHeadend.
