Could well be. It's been in the machine for over 18 months and I can't see 
anything about version number in the logs.

OK. I'll get these shortly and start playing.

However last night at around 21.00 I added your CNN line to my channels.conf, 
tuned to it briefly then back to DVB-t. CPU rose to mid 40s, but everything 
has stayed running and CPU is mid 30s after some 13 hours. ATM kdvb-fe-0:0 is 
25%, kdvb-fe-1:1 is 1%.

Incidentally, due to my rather cramped temporary accomodation, my aerial feed 
enters through an open window so I pull the DVB-t aerial if I go out while 
vdr is running. The picture freezes, obviously, but on replugging the aerial, 
even after several hours, the previous channel returns after some 15-20 
seconds. I hadn't noticed before, but CPU rises to mid 40s in this case.
