As said, in the 0.9.x versions of VDR I had no problems. The machine is
exactly the same, so there must be a change somewhere in the 1.0.x releases.

That's what I did, thanks to Axel Gruber for the hint. I'm currently testing
16 MBytes of video buffer, edited in the dvbapi.h:
  - #define VIDEOBUFSIZE  MEGABYTE(1)
  + #define VIDEOBUFSIZE  MEGABYTE(16)
I hope it's not too much with 256 MByte memory total.

Thanks for the help,
