I've found a big problem: VDR can't use both my DVB cards at once. They're both Hauppauge cards using the saa7146 module (I'm not sure if they both use the budget* modules though), but one is DVB-S and one is DVB-T. I expect it's because they're both based on the same chipset that's confusing VDR. Is there a fix available? I'm using 1.6.0-11 from Debian, patched for Freesat and rebuilt, but I'm willing to try 1.7.* if that's what it takes.

What does your channels.conf look like?
Sounds odd - I'm using the saa7146 driver on 2 cards (although both Technotrend)

I'm not so sure I'm having this problem after all. I just tried watching a DVB-T channel while recording DVB-S and it worked OK. I definitely have had problems while trying to watch/record two channels at once, and that's been going on for some time before I became aware of the problem with the Freeview EPG. I might have accidentally been selecting two channels on the same card in vdradmin, although until this EPG problem made it stop listing the Freeview ones I thought it was reasonably easy to tell the difference because all the Freeview ones came first, followed by Freesat, starting with BBC 1 South (and the first 3 channels being named differently on DVB-S from DVB-T because of their regions is another helpful clue).
