Hi,
since I am reading a lot about problems with the driver, I thought, I might
remind you about a VERY BAD bug in VDR/DVB:
Sometimes, when zapping to ARD I get a complete System-Freeze. I am not
the only one
with this problem. See this thread in german VDR-Portal: Klick

I think, when switching to that transponder, the driver is getting "bad"
data, whitch cause
a endless loop inside, so the system freezes.
I am now running VDR 1.3.12 on Kernel 2.4.28pre4 and DVB-20040727.
Tested this with many differend kernels/drivers/VDR. The only thing,
that I can say is that
it likely happens, when VDR is running for hours. And it has nothing to
do with the EPG-scan.
(disabled it).
Hm, did you test recent dvb-kernel CVS drivers?
I fixed a bug on September 7th which caused freezes on 2.6 SMP kernels.
Some people reported freezes when using kvdr.
Did you also change the "old" driver for kernels 2.4.x ?
Maybe someone of the driver-develpoers can look into this.
You could try to track down the problem using the "magic sysrq key",
See /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sysrq.txt.
I will try to do so, but I have to say, I am not a coder, just a simple
user. :-)
