I have a 'stock' S3 with 2 SA CC cards (required by SucCast)... about the time v11.b was downloaded onto my Tivo, it goes for 4-6 hours then starts to skip and freeze (and does not respond to the remote) to the point where it finally reboots.

Of course I called Tivo Tech Support... they told me it was the CC card in slot #2. Well I've replaced it twice (and yes I went through SucCast's painful activation process).

Well after getting frustrated and not wanting to replace the slot #2 CC yet again, I just removed it. WELL WELL after 5 days now, my S3 hasn't experienced a single problem. Interesting too... I seem to recall the problem started about or around the time of the last OS upgrade.

I would interested in hearing from anyone experiencing the same problem or believing the problem is with the OS instead of my hardware or the CC.

What are your signals levels like, as reported by the DVR Diagnostics screen on digital channels? If they are in the 99-100 range, the signal could be too strong for the second tuner. [The signal varies slightly by tuner.]
