For the second time in two days, my HDPVR just stopped working and I get an unable to find available capture device. The only way out yesterday was to reboot.

Here is the time when it first stopped working.

I rebooted and it happened again after changing channels, this time I tried on the NMT

I'm pretty sure the error relates to this in the log

2012-01-21 18:29:31.985 [INFO][6] HDPVR stream count now 2

in the new log it failed after it was at 2 as well.

I had another case where the count went to -1 and my HD-PVR was locked out. Maybe if you can't find the bug, not allowing it to go below zero might help.

Have you manage to find any pattern to it? Like watching tv, schedule a recording, recording starts (stealing tuner from live tv session), live tv session stops and returns to menu, recording later completes, and no longer able to be used for live tv?
It is when watching LiveTV, when the playback fails after the glitch that occurs when the HD-PVR tuner changes channels, which seems to break the encoding. (the reason I have wishlisted the option of tuning twice). After playback fails, the lease expires which generates the 0 and then the stop key to get the menu back seems to generate the -1. I have seem it on the NMT and PC but this last example was via the live?channel web interface so I don't know what generated that second stop.

I've found two places HDPVR reference counting might get out sync in error conditions and fixed them for the next release.
