I don't know what is different now !? But now, with 1.1.31, I only have a
very small glitch. Did you change something ?
I am unsing the same DVB Driver as with 1.1.30 !
Anyway, with 1.1.30 I had a glitch of several seconds, now less than a
second, so forget about the Pause. Maybe that was a seldom coincidence as no
one else has replied.

here the same as above - no distorted Picture anylonger !? Maybe next time I
should wait for the next version and see what happens ;)
The Black picture is still there, but as I said earlier I can live with that
if there is no (easy) solution.
