Well, in my case, every recording, with only ONE of these "unknown picture 
type" error is damaged, so I apply Klaus patch with a counter that does an 
emergency exit if there are 2 of these errors.
So I only have about 1 or 2 minutes of damaged recoding and afer a restart of 
vdr everything works fine.

I had no live-viewing errors, because I use VDR in that way I (had to) use my 
old 1.04 system, that means not more than 2 recordings and no zapping, when 2 
recordings are active (I have a satreceiver too).
