Yes, this is a known issue.  The plugin developers believe it to be a problem 
with the Dxr3 drivers or firmware - the 'OSD' was really only ever intended 
for showing DVD 'subpictures' (subtitles) and not for updating a display 
maybe 10 times per second, hence the problem of fast scrolling causing a 
crash.

There is a workaround. Look into the dxr3 plugin source directory - you should 
see em8300_patch.diff. Apply this to a CVS Dxr3 driver source code (it won't 
work on the 0.13 release) and recompile.

Now the VDR dxr3 plugin will auto detect when the Dxr3 has crashed, and 
re-initialise it...
