[vdr] av7110 errors, crash

[Thomas Neumann <tn+vdr@net-guru.org>]

Hi,

Yesterday the DVB-T broadcast service started in my region,
so I thought I'd plug a DVB-T card into my system in addition
to the DVB-C card it already had.

I can receive and view DVB-T without picture quality problems.
Switching channels also works, but after a couple of minutes
(typically 10 - 30 minutes after VDR is started) I always sooner
or later run into this error (from syslog)

From that moment on, video output to the scart connector is gets
completely turned off (the TV switches away from the SCART input)
and VDR is no longer usable.

My system :

vdr-1.3.15 (from source) and vdr-1.2.6 (from Debian pkg)
  error occurs just the same with both versions of vdr.

Debian Sarge with 2.6.8 Kernel and kernel-included DVB drivers.

One DVB-C full-featured card (Siemens) and one
  DVB-T budget card (TT clone).

TV-out (Scart) via the video output of the Siemens full-featured card.


Here's what goes to syslog when my system boots, loads the
kernel modules and loads the card firmware :

Any ideas?
