I have the original DVB-S card.
In addition to the above, I get

Jul  6 23:35:45 vdr kernel: commandrequest error
Jul  6 23:35:50 vdr kernel: outcommand error 1
Jul  6 23:35:50 vdr kernel: dvb: ARM RESET

when I kill the (locked up) VDR.

I tried reducing MenuLines in dvbapi.h from 13 to 9 and even to
the minimum that will work without further code changes (5).
No success.

Has anyone else found a woraround yet?

Any help from the driver developers?
