Hello Markus,

have you tried different channels? I have a DVB-s as primary card and a
NOVA as secondary card (so the NOVA will be used for recording first,
and the DVB-s for watching/replaying). I can record  for example Pro7,
RTL, ZDF with the NOVA. Recording Kabel1, ARD or Sat1 does not work, as
you describe. I already posted a longer description of the problem to
this list (http://www.linuxtv.org/mailinglists/linux-dvb/msg05069.html).
Unfortunately, I do not have enough time or knowledge of the driver for
a better analysis right now.

Interestingly, Recording Kabel1 Suisse or Kabel1 Austria works with the
NOVA.
