I think this bug only can be reproduced if you are using 4x1 diseqc switches. I have exact same problem on my setup and I traced it out to diseqc switches. Every time one of your cards switches one switch while other card is recording, the diseqc signal goes around LNB to another diseqc switch and moves its position too, and other card, which is recording, loses signal and you get VDSB. I don't have scope but I've put the cards in different machines and if I set one of the machines to record while I'm flipping channels on second machine, the first one would got VDSB or if I'm not recording, I'd just lose signal on first machine. If I use only one, either machine, at the time, stuff works without any problems. In my opinion, the only way to resolve this is to get diseqc-multiswitch. Another possibility is your hardware setup, i.e. one or all of your Nexus cards are using bad PCI slots or sharing IRQ with very incompatible devices. Try moving cards to different PCI slots to resolve IRQ issues. > -----Original Message----- > From: vdr-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vdr-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf > Of sn123py vdr user > Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2005 6:23 AM > To: Klaus Schmidinger's VDR > Subject: Re: vdr-1.3.21: video data stream broken > > hm, but with same environment, vdr-1.3.17 (with nearly all plugins > enabled) > everything works?!
