I tried yesterday to see if 4 recordings works better with 1.3.13 and
found the same. 

A strange thing is that the channels that are recorded mostly can't be
Live viewed, the screen stays black. 
What I did :
I started a recrding on Pro7 and one on Sat1 - there are running on the
Second card, I still can watch all channels on card 1. Now I start
recodring RTL and the Picture on RTL goeds black. RTL2 I can still see.
The I starte recording RTL2 and the Picture goes black on RTL2 too. Now
most of the channels are "black".

Using a 2 card FF DVB-s System with Suse 9.1 dvb-kernel-05.09.2004

All testing done with VDR 1.3.13 and AC3overDVB 0.2.6 (for 1.3.10). I
have Force Transfermode off and LiveAC3 automatic.
With Vanila VDR 1.3.13 everything works fine :) (with 1.3.12 too)
