well, currently i have some free time that i'm willing to spend on trying any patch sets that could make my 1 Rev 1.3 card VDR setup
more stable. The current "stable" setup i use is VDR 1.3.12 with Klaus recommended linux-dvb.2003-11-08 drivers, but
unfortunately, if i leave the box up for several days, it will just do weird things ( OSD becoming unreadable,video 
data stream broken,etc..).

Any attempt to use the dvb-kernel drivers (i tried mainly 2.6 with 2.6.7+ kernels but i remember i had the same problem with 2.4 as well),
will result in channels zapping automatically. 

Given all the different tries and tests that i've made, the change of frontend from alps_bsrv2 to ves1x93 seems to be the root cause of my problems.

In the meantime i'll try the  "old driver" you posted and see if the issue goes away.

Thanks,

Philippe
