I see similar problems here, caused by the DVB driver using too much kernel time when a card cannot tune a station. My primary DVB device can tune all channels. My secondary cannot tune all, for some unknown reason. Thus I have set up the secondary DVB device as the main device used for normal TV viewing, since I don't want VDR to try to tune to get EPG data on that card. But when playing recordings, VDR uses the first available card, so the problem reappear. There is a similar problem, if I try to record a channel on a card that cannot tune to the channel, VDR segfaults. -- Torgeir Veimo torgeir@xxxxxxxxx
