Lukas-

Thank you for testing the v4l/dvb tree-merge scripts on your dvb-bt8xx 
board.  I've taken the liberty of cc'ing this to the mailing lists, 
because I don't know exactly how to fix your problem, and it would be a 
good idea to have it posted somewhere public.

Looks like the scripts are working for you ;-)

It looks to me like BT878 (linux-dvb) is causing the problem, but it is 
the video4linux modules that are complaining... I'm kinda new to the 
bt878 stuff... Does anybody know what is happening here?

huh?  I can understand if it never worked in linux, maybe some tweaks 
are necessary... but are you ALSO saying that it only works in windows 
1% of the time?!?  Maybe your board is broken?  Please clarify.

Lock, nice... video?  How about analog video?  (if your board supports it)

I dont like windows either... but sometimes it helps for troubleshooting 
this kind of thing...
