Hello, I've been trying to get my Cinergy T2 USB box working properly with VDR, but I get the "frontend timed out" error message sometimes when switching to ARD (or another channel in the same bouquet), and the screen remains blank (error message below). The 'sometimes' varies from 2 to maybe 20 times. After the error occurs, I can still view other channels, but none in the ARD bouquet. Restarting VDR doesn't help, neither unloading/loading the cinergyT2 kernel module. After unplugging the USB cable I can again view ARD until the error occurrs again. I tried with VDR 1.4.0-1 and 1.3.49 from e-tobi.net, kernel 2.6.17-rc4 and 2.6.15.5, on 2 different machines (one with the USB box only, one with an additional full-featured DVB-S card). The CinergyT2 is running firmware 1.08. There are similar reports on www.vdr-portal.de, one claims the problem vanished after doubling the CinergyT2 kernel tuning parameters and changing channels.conf entries from I0 to I999 (http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=50153). I also tried this, but the problem remains. Any ideas? Regards.
