Which "defect" is that?
It stops for a reason I have not yet found
I think I am experiencing the same problem. When I activate the automatic EPG scan (i.e. timeout of 2 hours) my VDR suddenly stops responding to anything, I think around the time when it should be scaning. Neither remote, nor svdrp work then, and the watchdog does not restart it. It just sits there doing nothing. There is nothing suspicious in the logs. I have a FF-TechnoTrend DVB-S and a budget Airstar2 DVB-T.
I wonder what happens if VDR encounters an HDTV channel with a FF card during an EPG scan. Since new channels may get entered into channels.conf automatically, you may not even know that you have an HDTV channel in it.
