But if I disconnect from the card the antenna I will have this problem
[snip]
let's see in the xine output
[snip]
video_out: throwing away image with pts 96108366 because it's too old (diff : 434402). video_out: throwing away image with pts 96111366 because it's too old (diff : 431402).
When you disconnect the antenna cable for a certain amount of time, there will be a gap in presentation time stamps (PTS). This will cause xine to jump over the gap with the result that the previously established buffer will run empty immediately. Any further received images will therefore arrive to late at xine and cause the above messages.
today I disconnected the antenna cable again and didn't discover this problem (I don't know why)

Maybe I can find a solution for vdr-xine to detect this issue and reestablish a suitable buffer in this case.
fine :)
