Hello All, The issue was not related to USB whatsoever - my channels.conf was the issue. I created it with "scan" from the dvb-utils package. Turns out that "scan -o vdr" outputs the channel frequency in kHz, where vdr expects it in Hz. Obviously, the vdr still tunes but the recording part is baffled. Refer also too: http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=88654 Best regards, Markus keywords: 0 Byte, Recording, Aufnahme, "ERROR: video data stream broken", vdr, restart 2010/2/4 Markus Fritsche <fritsche.markus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: > Hello, > > further investigation shows that it only affects some channels, and > only if recording.
