I don't see any -D options here to assign the individual VDR instances
to particular DVB cards, but I guess you just left them out and in reality
are using them.

The only change between 1.1.32 and 1.1.33 that I can think of causing trouble
here would be

--- vdr.c       2003/05/16 12:11:45     1.155
+++ vdr.c       2003/05/24 11:06:53     1.156
@@ -323,6 +323,7 @@
      stdin  = freopen(Terminal, "r", stdin);
      stdout = freopen(Terminal, "w", stdout);
      stderr = freopen(Terminal, "w", stderr);
+     HasStdin = true;
      }
 
   isyslog("VDR version %s started", VDRVERSION);

Since you are using '--terminal /dev/tty1' for _both_ VDR instances, that
might cause problems. Assigning more than one VDR instance to the same
controlling terminal doesn't seem to make much sense to me - but I may
be wrong there.

So, I suggest you either use separate controlling terminals, or try reverting
the above change. But I believe the change is necessary, since others have
complained about problems _without_ it.
