Or another posibility to get HDTV. How about marking a channel not be displayable with ff-card and then showing only a black screen if such a channel is detected.
I would like that much better than a crash. :-)
The current behaviour (HDTV channels get into channels.conf automatically, if you happen to zap to such a channel innocently, the driver crashes) is not very user-friendly.
The main question is: how do you detect a "HDTV channel" just from the SI data?
I do not know. But the femon plugin is able to display the resolution of the current stream, so that information is obviously available to vdr. Would it not be possible to show a black screen and some OSD message whenever the resolution of the current stream is > 720x576?
The femon plugin gets this information directly from the video elementary stream. So the problem remains to get that high bandwidth stream from the FF-card. May be a solution would be to request a single PES paket with the PES_OTHER flag instead of PES_VIDEO so that it won't get routed through mpeg decoder. This would slow down the tuning process though.
