If i use the linux-dvb.2004-12-26 driver VDR 1.3.18 
can find the DVB-S cards. The DVB-T is dead of course...
If VDR 1.3.24 starts it shows the same error as before.

If 1.3.24 is run after the VDR 1.3.18, 24. can find the cards too!



Why does this happen only because i updated the linux distribution?
(OK, the memory allocation might be other....)
What's different between 1.3.18 1.3.24 ?
If VDR expects a specia DVB driver version/API, why can't it complain?
I would find it very mice if, when VDR needs to convert a .conf,
it would make a backup copy of the privious version.
It's a delveloper version, so i have backups, but it would be
nicer if VDR would do the backup too.

Is there meanwhile a driverpackage including then working
AverMedia 771 DVB-T driver?
