Normally "ERROR: video data stream broken" indicates, that VDR doesn't get any 
data out of the DVB-card. The reason might be a tuning failiure or this 
mysterios bug, which happens only with VDR in a multi card setups. I suppose 
none of the driver developers actually use such a setup with VDR regulary, 
because then it would have gotten more attention - simply because it is 
really annoying ;-)

Would a strace like output of a reproduceable VDR-session, which leads to this 
BUG, help to solve this problem?
