Had it on my previous Asus P55T2P4 Board (Intel Chipset) and on my new
Asus TUSL2-C (Intel 815EP) Board. I'm guessing the others also
haven't exactly the same Chipset as you.

Nope.

I suspected this, too. But why has changing the primary interface to the
2nd card, reduced the frequency of broken recordings then? The
2nd card resides in lower priority slot 4, as the 1st card sits in higher 
priority slot 2. 

Why seems keeping the 2nd vdr interface busy of any effect then?

@the others
Before releasing any modifications of vdr as a patch, I want to test
them for a week at least. It may have other reasons or is coincidence
that it works for me now. BTW Klaus suspects also the driver. I already
had a conversation with him about this. He is against patching vdr.
