I had the same problem here. The cards stayed tuned, EPG data for the tuned transponder was updated, but recordings didn't work. > I could only do tests with an old AirStar card which is not really > reliable, because most of the affected cards are SkyStar2 DVB-S and I > don't have easy access to DVB-S. > > I highly encourage everyone who suffered/ is suffering from this > issue to either try current CVS of dvb-kernel (requires 2.6.12) or to > checkout CVS from 2005-06-18 and apply this patch [1] (runs with > 2.6.9/10/11).

Thank you and good luck ;). Great work, Patrick! I have VDR 1.3.27 with two AirStar2 PCI cards, it seems to work now! VDR is running for about 6 hours with the patched kernel and the EPG still gets updated. I've recorded some programs in the meantime to see whether it still works afterwards, no problems so far.
