Our server (and database) doesn't crash either but THE APPLICATIONS DO occasionally. With a non-transactional db, if an app has a bug in it and croaks in the middle of a transaction, your database is corrupted. With a transactional db (like postgreSQL or Oracle), the whole transaction gets backed out back to where it never happened.
Feel free to tell the world you never have bugs in your apps. (You'll be the first.)

Note that there is no eyeTV that supports CableCard. Tivo (at least gen 3) does.
