Hi,

sorry for the late reply. I've been away a few days.

I've got only a single DVB rev 2.1 card in my PC. I switched back to my test
environment, made sure the strange behavoir was still there and then I set
the EPG scan timeout to zero. Result: The strange load peaks have vanished
as far as I can see!!

Do I need this paramter? Will I be missing EPG information? Otherwise it is
at least a workaround for the moment...

Regards,
Steffen
