I've tried these options before (enabling / disabling each one) and non seemed to have helped at all, the tuner lasted longer but it still died in the end.
On an unrelated note I have tried to use my spare RTL2838 stick but for some unknown reason it insists on being top-dog and ignoring any adapter_nr settings screwing my config up. :(
