[linux-dvb] AW: Re: channel switching problems + solution basis

[Schuett Thomas <Thomas.Schuett@icn.siemens.de>]

Hi Klaus,

I thought I have read about a restart-loop, that restarts vdr
whenever it hangs. Additionally I thought, this hanging
is related to channel switching.
If I mix up everything now, please apologise. (And maybe clean
up the mess :-)

cu,
  Thomas

	With the CVS driver version dated 2001-09-20 I am currently using
	I have virtually no problems switching channels.

	The latest CVS driver, however, appears to be broken.
