Surprisingly, in most cases when I had luckily managed to kill the VLC
process before my system fell frozen, and I started VLC a second time to
watch DVB-T, it operated stable. Not always, but in about 80 - 90 % of
the cases. Maybe this helps to locate the cause of this bug. Maybe it is
not a driver issue at all but a VLC issue, but I don't know.

What does not make a difference is when I simply terminate a healthy VLC process and restart the application. Then the bug reappears as usual.
VLC had to have crashed before it performs in a stable way. This is just an observation of mine. I wouldn't go as far as to say this is a sure indicator of some underlying principle of the bug.
