I tried the TS ("transport stream" instead of "program stream") option 
in the card setup, and it reduces the numbers of errors almost to zero 
(as the option's tooltip tells). This solves the problem. The recorded 
ProSieben HD stream is good enough (even though the signal ATM isn't 
that good - thunderstorms over Munich), and mplayer can play it as well 
(actually, mplayer is able to play this stream with about 60% CPU load, 
while Mythtv needs almost 100% for the live TV).
