That sound's like a mixup of primary and secondary card.

Sorry, no patch.
Just a description where the problems may occure and
a little (partial) manual workarround.
BTW:
Yesterday i forgot to mention again, that "One Koax-Cable (LNB) Systems"
have to turn "EPG scan" off! It's a MUST!
Else VDR will use the free card for EPG scans and that will
interrupt watching vertically polarized tranmissions after a few
seconds.
That will lead to an unexpected "black screen" on N-tv, Sat.1 etc.
while not-recording.
