Can you give me an estimate of the rate at which memory is consumed? Maybe you could have a shell running the command

top -b -d 600 | grep -w vdr

At the moment:

25956 vdr 20 0 520m 213m 5136 S 0.7 11.3 28:27.27 vdr

After a restart:

24585 vdr 20 0 257m 43m 5316 S 0.0 2.3 0:00.88 vdr

It starts to have a noticeable impact on the box's general performance when %MEM reaches 50% IME.

I'll run top for longer like you suggest, then try all plugins disabled and with DVB-T and DVB-S lines removed from channels.conf in turn.
