I have only one FF dvb-c card, old fujitsu-siemens one. Sometimes I get image back by opening menu, sometimes I need to retune to channel, sometimes I need to retune to another transponder and most annoyingly sometimes I need to restart vdr to get image back. I'm using dvd plugin, mp3 plugin and subtitle plugin (dvb, not teletext) and vdradmind. So, I could try to help finding cure to this... Just tell me what to do? I'm not familiar with vdr's code. Marko
