Those Telenor channels are encrypted, so I'm afraid I can't test them.
However, this may also be the reason for your problem. When VDR first switches to an encrypted channel, it always does so in Transfer-Mode, so that it can check whether the TS packets get decrypted. Once it knows that a channel can be decrypted, it switches to it in direct live mode if you switch to it again.
While in Transfer-Mode, the high data rate stream is read from the FF card and sent back to it for replay. I assume this is too much load for the FF card.
Try switching to the same channel again after some 15 seconds. Does it show up ok then?
Yes it does. If I stay 15 seconds with bad picture and change to another channel and back it works. I have to do that every time I restart vdr on these channels. Is there a solution to this or do I have to buy new hardware for VDR 1.6.0? I like VDR as it is now because I do not have any HDTV channels or a LCD TV. Why does it work in version 1.4.7?
Version 1.4.7 simply switched to the encrypted channel and didn't check whether it was actually decrypted.
Version 1.5 automatically selects a suitable CAM, and if there is more than one CAM that claims to be able to decrypt a given channel, it needs to check whether it actually can do so. Therefore it starts in Transfer-Mode, which is apparently a problem on FF cards with high bandwith channels.
Too bad the CI standard is so broken...
