i think, there are a lot of people with this problem. But there is still no
solution available.

ok, so my Nexus-Card will survive... ;-)

In my case (also when the problem occurs while starting a new recording) I
haven't zapped heavily. Yesterday I only switched from Pro7 to RTL.
But I agree, that this problem only occurs on my secondary device (and so
it only occurs in transfer-mode).

I've tested the following:
- Mandrake 8.1, 8.2, 9.0, 9.1; Suse 8.1
- changed the slots of the TV-cards
- Patch from (i forgot the name) (in transfer.c in method cTransfer::Action(void): 
  uncomment  the part, which should avoid buffer underuns)

My Hardware is:
- Elitegroup P6IPAT Motherboard with Intel 815E chipsatz and a Celeron 1Ghz
- ATI Xpert@Work graphikcard (AGP)
- 128MB SDRAM
- 3Com 3c905c-tx network card
- primary device: Hauppauge DVB-S Rev. 1.3
- secondary device: hauppauge Nexus Rev 2.1

no DiSEQ, only Astra 19.2E with an Universal-LNB

I don't think, that any of my hw-components is defect, because when I use the
same DVB-driver with vdr 1.1.26, 1.1.27, 1.1.28 and above I only get this problem
with >= 1.1.28. All vdrs with plain vanilla vdr: no patches (except the mentioned
one for testing purposes to avoid buffer underuns), no plugins.

Is there any progress in applying the changes between 1.1.27
and 1.1.28 step by step?

Redundancy shouldn't be the solution here... ;-)

PS: My first post ends in an error message. So sorry, if it appears twice in the ML.
