Hi,

my primary dvb card works fine on both of my Twin-LNB connectors. I can switch the second card via szap and get a video stream via "cat /dev/dvb/adapter1/dvr0 > /tmp/bla" on H and V channels. VDR doesn't get data any data from H channels, but gets data from V channels. I will try to strace vdr and szap to get any difference, maybe they do it in a different way.
I've had a further look into szap's source how it detects the status FE_LOCKED. Attached is an updated tuner patch which now also reports details for FE_READ_STATUS.
One difference between VDR and szap regarding FE_READ_STATUS is, that VDR only honors the read status when ioctl() returns 0 while szap prints just an error when ioctl() returns -1.
Furthermore, VDR's handling of errno == EINTR seems to be wrong due to the do {} while (0); loop.
BTW: I still assume, that your logfile reports a tuning timeout. If this is no longer the case, then you may want to experiment with WAIT_FOR_TUNER_LOCK in device.c.
Bye.
