On the tv it just locks up. have to restart vdr
There's not really much to see from this, apart from showing us that it is the ATSC Scanner code itself causing the segfault :)
You'll need to recompile the plugin yourself to preserve debug symbols (any debian packaged version will likely be stripped of symbols) and then copy it into /var/lib/vdr/plugins (or wherever your vdr is configured to store plugins)
Then you'll need to make sure core files are generated, e.g., by adding `ulimit -c unlimited` before the call to /usr/bin/vdr in /usr/sbin/runvdr (again assuming you're using debian packages).
Then you should get core files generated if a segfault occurs.
