Hi Harald,

so you can either install newer DVB drivers or kernel 2.6.11, which contains the fixed drivers.
I suppose the 1.1.1 drivers are at least as recent as the ones in the 2.6.11 kernel?
No. 1.1.1 are for 2.6.4 (or 3) and won't work with higher kernels, you have to use dvb-kernel from CVS for >= 2.6.9 .
Shame. I wanted to record Episode II tonight, and I'm still getting the VDSBs. :-( Good news is it is repeated tomorrow afternoon.
Sorry if I ask something already answered, but it was not obvious for me.
Do the VSDB errors happen with the skystar2 card? If so, it's is a known problem, but unfortunately not entirely solved yet.
The problem is, that suddenly no interrupts are created anymore. The only solution (but a very rude one) is to reset the flexcop-chip by reloading the drivers.
If the skystar is the problematic card, I suggest you to use dvb-kernel CVS. There is a new driver for the Technisat/B2C2 cards (b2c2-flexcop-pci). The VSDB-error still happens with that driver in some cases though, but maybe it helps in your case.
best regards Patrick.
