Hello, When I start my vdr on the console with : vdr -L PLUGINS/lib/ -c /etc/vdr -v /video0 -w 60 -s /usr/local/bin/HALT -P'xine -r' -Ploadepg I have no problem :-) But with the followings scripts, my VDR keeps crashing... I use this /etc/init.d/dvb : --- #!/sbin/runscript start() { ebegin "dvb up" modprobe dvb-core modprobe ves1x93 modprobe stv0299 modprobe saa7146 modprobe saa7146_vv modprobe ttpci-eeprom modprobe dvb-ttpci modprobe budget-core modprobe budget modprobe budget-ci eend $? "dvb up failed" } stop() { ebegin "dvb down" rmmod budget-ci rmmod budget rmmod budget_core rmmod dvb_ttpci rmmod stv0299 rmmod ves1820 rmmod tda8083 rmmod sp8870 rmmod ves1x93 rmmod dvb_core rmmod saa7146_vv rmmod video_buf rmmod saa7146 rmmod ttpci_eeprom rmmod l64781 rmmod tda1004x eend $?
