I doubt that, because it only happens when recording, and then only
on particular channels and with particular broadcasts. When the problem 
occurs (while recording) and I stop recording, the signal at the AV-out
is immediately ok again.

I'm currently using the CVS driver version from 2001-05-25, because with the
version from 2001-05-28 I'm having big problems with tuning and frequent "ARM resets"
(with otherwise unchanged VDR, just recompiled with the respective driver's header files).
Ralph said earlier that the tuning code hasn't changed between these two versions,
but I guess something must have changed, because the latest version is pretty
unstable on my system.

Not yet, but I guess I'll have to do that next...
