I'm also running 2.4.19 with no problems, but never tested Debian (using
Redhat).
One of the problems is WinTV Nova-T as it doesn't have a MPEG-decoder. This
means you have no OSD to control VDR. You can only control it by SVDRP-port
(e.g. using VDRADMIN) but this won't enable you controling streaming.

As your problems are arising on ML you should watch the following thread:

ANNOUNCE: vdr-stream-0.0.3
