I'm not sure - I haven't seen this exact problem. Changing channels fast in xine seems to lock xine dead sometimes, but tzap has always been reliable for me. I presume you're killing off any dead apps that are holding the devices open? You can see the pids of any programs user the device like this with the fuser command: fuser /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 If nothing is holding it open, is there anything in the syslogs at all?
