My VDR can receive very chanel on both cards, and even if I swap
cards or cable this happens. Maybe I shall disable EPG scans for
a test, but is it possibe to change this broken stream procedure,
so that VDR does not restart immediately but retunes the channel
one or two times bevor giving up and doing an emergency exit ?
Where can I find the apropriate code ?

Found this one in another posting, maybe this is the same problem
and a solution for it:
