hi Klaus,

here I have the same problems (for a while). Until today I thought it was a 
problem with my Nova budget-card (newer model). I made a recording from 
channel 1 "ARD". After that, I switched to the next channels (2 = ZDF, 3 = 
RTL, 4 = Sat1). Only on channel 4 I have a verry jerky view of the live 
picture.

Same thing with linuxtv-dvb-1.0.0-pre3 and vdr 1.2.0. If I stop the recording, 
the picture on channel 4 is ok.

I use linux-dvb.2003-06-08 and vdr 1.2.1 (no plugins):
