I'm experiencing a similar bad experience with V18 as well (7/19).  Using this on a Shield tv with Oreo update installed.  I do not seem to get "disconnected from the tuner", but the streams eventually hang.  Attached is a debug log.  Hope this helps

In your case, it appears the render pipeline stalled, but no further calls were made to the addon for more data.

These lines :

represent a completed Read transaction from the addon. This is the last one in the log, but in the next section of log :

it starts buffer timeouts without requesting further data from the addon.

You might experiment with trying other renderers, if you have them, or disabling passthru audo stream if you're using that. I've seen both these settings involved in these kinds of errors here (RPI platform).

Thanks!
