Hi,

i also did the test, with the same result (my both DVB-S uses each an 
exclusively irq). Last week i changed from P5A(B-AT) / K6/2-400 to a 
P5A(ATX) / K6/2-400 with new board, CPU, powersupply and case, with 
no success (except one PCI-Slot more to swap the DVBs around). 
While testing 1.1.26 it seems that slot 2 on the CI (the upper one seen 
from plate) let the CAM-Connection run longer then slot 1, but i tested it 
only a few times so it could be a random effect. VDR 1.1.20 runs without 
problems in everyday use.

CU Hans
