The reason VDR restarts is the unreliable DVB-driver. As it used to crash very 
often, VDR restarts to reload it. But VDR doesn't know if the driver has 
crashed or if there's just no reception. We've discussed this with Klaus very 
often, but he didn't want to change the code.

VDR does NOT provide QoS!

No, I think you should drop your standalone box to connect the Nova-S 
directly. What for do you need the standalone box?
