Do you have a script that automatically restarts vdr if it crashes ? 
If the screen goes black and then switches to a channel makes it sound
like vdr is crashing and then restarting.  Can you e-mail me your

problem.  Some other people have reported some strange behavior
depening on their channels.conf too.
