I don't know VDR well enough, but when it says "frontend 0 lost lock" it means that the status of the receiving part gave the information, that there was problem with the signal. The symptoms you describe are not caused by the IRQ stop problem. (IRQ problem: Lock and BER are OK, but no data arrives.) > One time it recovered.

Or a current/voltage problem. What is your hardware? Can you try the card on another system? regards, Patrick. -- Mail: patrick.boettcher@xxxxxxx WWW: http://www.wi-bw.tfh-wildau.de/~pboettch/ _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
