With the new Hauppauge model in my PC, this problem makes the whole system
unusable at the moment. Most of the time, I cannot even switch 4-5 (!) times
before I get either

- a "channel not sync'ed" message and the screen remains black or

- horizontal stripes and an outcommand error followed by an ARM reset. Look
at the image at ftp://ftp.loca.net/pub/vdr/crash.jpg for an example.

I tried ntuxzap this morning and I've got the same problems there, except
that I don't get the stripes. ntuxzap just hangs after a couple of channel
switches and I have to da a "make reload". It doesn't matter if I switch
quickly or wait a while and it also doesn't matter if I switch between
channels on the same transponder or on different transponders.

Most of the time, the latest VDR 0.80pre5 will now recover automatically
from these errors and restart automatically so I *only* have to wait 60
seconds until I can use it again but the situation is very unsatisfying. Are
there any chances that we will see an improvement of the new tuner support
in the near future?
