Hmm, the ves1893....yes...but my brand new rev 1.5 with stv0299 have exactly
the same behavior like my budget cards..no more interrupts handled after
some time. I havenīt had tested my rev. 1.3 yet (because i know this results
in fw_command erros), but i think the problem was the same...no more data
handled and this cause the arm crashes. And this could explain why arm
recovery donīt work in the driver (since API3).

No, i mean section filters, because vdr does not open any PES filter during
epg-scan.

btw: without this filters, the cards have nothing do and there is no data to
transfer from card to userspace in this case, so this was only some heavy
frontend testing.
