This is a setup similar to mine (1 Nexus, 1 Skystar2, both using
stv0299). Do you get the problems only when starting a recording? Then
you could try the patch I posted to the list yesterday. I have not got
any more errors since I use it.

Disclaimer: I think there is more than one possible reason for the
VDSB-error. So the patch may or may not help you. Nevertheless I would
be interested to get some feedback, especially syslog output while VDR
is running the EIT scan (or whatever it is called) on the budget card.
