i c.
is there any thinkable way to get additional information about the 
cause of the error ?
because its hard to tell from outside. every VDR-operation triggers 
some sort of OSD output (except while recording & playback). and 
while you watch there is no sign that VDR is running wild. only next 
time you fumble on you remote you will see ;-)
to be clear: the driver works fine - but you cant switch the channel 
etc...

dont think so, its just an commandline tool IMHO and talks with the 
DVB driver. maybe jan could give us infos about pscan ?

i will look at stest, too.
