It was in fact a hardware problem that by coincidence started
at the same time I updated the software. By now the card is
almost completely dead (no output on the J2 Y/C pins,
composite output not tested, gaps in recordings, still recognized
by the driver, though) and I have replaced it with a new
FF TT 1.5 DVB-S.

I am sure many people on this mailing list can easily fix the
broken card or have other use for a partially working card
and I am willing to give it away for any good cause.
So, if you have written a VDR plugin/patch/addon or have in any
other way contributed to VDR and have use for a broken full-featured
Hauppauge DVB-S 1.3, just send me a mail and I will send you the
card for free. I will even pay for the postage. If I get more than
one request, I reserve the right to choose to whom I give the card.


Carsten.
