Most interesting. I'm getting a 1.6 from ebay with broken tuner soon. Let's 
see whether there's any difference there. It it even feasible to assume it 
could be the revision of the card that makes a difference here?

Could it be a 1.2 ? I haven't heard of a 2.1 yet?

ok.

vdr-1.2.0pre1 with pre3
vdr-1.2.1 with pre1
vdr-1.2.1 with pre3

vdr-1.2.1 with pre3 and a sat setting in channels.conf like
CNN Int.:12168:V:S19.2E:27500:165:100:47:0:28512
then "tuning" to it, and switching back to DVB-T seeing whether it runs 
stable for more than a couple of hours.

No patch necessary as of pre3 as video memory is large enough to decode the 
BBC channels without the patch.

Sound about normal for transfer mode.
