Update: The problem happens again, regularly.

- The symptoms disappeared after Apr 9, after updating from 
linux-image-3.11.0-19-generic to linux-image-3.11.0-20-generic (still Ubuntu 
13.10).
- then, I had more than 4 months without problems
- Now, on Aug 27 it happened the first time again, now with kernel version 
linux-image-3.13.0-35-generic and Ubuntu 14.04.

I was able to reproduce this summary using the log files
/var/log/dpkg.log* and the log of an auto-reboot script which I wrote to
automatically reboot my machine if it isn't able to run videos:

This is the main part of the script:

n="`dmesg | grep -E 'frontend initialization failed|dvb_register failed \(err = 
-|cx22702_readreg: error' | wc -l`"
if [ "$n" -ge 2 ]; then
    #do a reboot
