I tried with SR 6111 last thursday, but didn't get anything
on my FF card.
With the original SR 5632 it worked at least on my budget card.
Unfortunately I couldn't test SR 6111 on the budget card because
at that time I was recording that channel.

Since it apparently looks as if the FF rev. 1.3 cards have serious
trouble receiving transponders with low symbol rates, would it make sense
to change the symbol_rate_min value to 10000000 (10 M/s) for these
particular cards? Then VDR could actually use the values returned from
the driver to decide whether a DVB card can receive a given channel.
