[vdr] VDR crashes while recording a high bandwith channel

Hello,

my VDR has exactly *one* Full Featured DVB card as tuner card. The card has *no* hardware mods.

If I record a channel with "higher bandwith" (like the german ARD) and watch this channel at the same time, then, after some time, VDR, the driver or "something else" seems to get problems with some kind of "buffer".

The following log is from a try with VDR 1.7.10, but I'm able to reproduce the same bug with 1.7.11, too. The DVB drivers are the latest drivers from the v4l hg repository.

While this recording, the OSD also gets *pretty* slow. Seems like the FF-card gets pretty busy.

Yours

Christopher Reimer
