Hello, I just realized that while recording (i.e. starting and stopping all the time) the process "kdvb-fe-0" has 65% CPU usage (PIII-600 - 128 MB RAM) and that there are "a lot" (no other messages viewable and pages ...) of i2c master_xfer failed messages in the dmesg output.

I don't know wether this has to do with my problem or is just because of the start and stopping of the timer - here again the full log:

There is no emergency exit and just very slow reaction of vdr commands (press key - 10 seconds until action). I am using vdr-1.3.30 and kernel 2.6.12.5 with dvb-patches (for kernel 2.6.13) from linuxtv.org.

Sorry for posting it partly again but I missed a lot the first time.
