Well, I've been running 1.1.3x in every day use ever since and had
no problems at all.

Since everything is running so smooth here it's really hard for me
to do anything about this.

About the restarts at the beginning of a recording: maybe you could test
what I suggested to Reinhard under "VDR Bug: Question on CAM behavior":

Please try if increasing 

#define MAXNONUSEFULDATA (10*1024*1024)

to, say, 100MB or even more makes a difference, or just comment out
the lines

        if (exitOnFailure)
           cThread::EmergencyExit(true);

(both in remux.c). Maybe it just takes too long until it gets decrypted
data. You might also want to check your log file to see whether in these
cases you got an entry "ERROR: no useful data seen within nnn byte of video stream".
