I now moved the card (Hauppauge full-feature DVB-C w/CI+CAM) to a new Fedora Core 4 installation with ready-built vdr-1.3.37-0.lvn.1.4 and vdradmin-0.97-1.lvn.6.am3.4.2.4 from Livna.org, but all did not go according to plan.
Things have progressed, I have a working channels.conf and vdr runs. Turned out that having anything but zero in the NID field caused the rather strange problems I was experiencing, my updated channels.conf generator for HTV is available at http://eetis.co.jyu.fi/dvb/
However, it now seems vdr falls over at glitches in the cable (and HTV certainly has enough of these). For example, here is a syslog where it looks like vdr recording progresses to 54 minutes and then quits:

Or am I reading something into this that it isn't? A Bug, A Feature? What are these "stopping recording / retuning due to modification" messages?
