Hi Sergei,

I had the same problem (disappearing video after an epg-scan, sound OSD still there) up to 
last week (also using the 20011117-driver and always the latest VDR). Due to some comments 
to the original thread that it might have something todo with I2C or lm_sensors (and for some 
other reasons, like ext3, nvram_wakeup, mencoder) I decided to reinstall my box.

I did an upgrade from mandrake 8.0 (kernel 2.4.3) to mandrake 8.1 (kernel 2.4.8). I'm also 
using the most recent lm_sensors package now (the one I used before was a very old rpm). 

Don't know exactly if it has something to do with the kernel-version or with lm_sensors, but 
anyway, for me the the problem is gone now  :-))))

CU, Peter
