acknowledged. After some time there are StopHwFilter errors, then 
eventually ARM crashes.

yes - make rmmod / insmod solves the prob here.

Same here. They get set to all 0 right after loading vdr and are then 
untouched right to the crash. I'm using vdr-1.2.1: EPG TimeOut is 0, EPG 
doesn't set system time, no Sat channels in channels.conf.

More investigation later. I think it has definitely to do with rev 1.3...
