Nothing yet. I have just load the driver and instantly after that 
executed a "dmesg" . Using vdr gives no error message. Any informations 
that i could provide ?

Another thing is that i can block the driver from unloading if i use 
dvbtune .... -n xxxx to often. lsmod shows then that the module is used 
9 times, but no chance beside reboot to unload the driver again. Just 
thought that might be important too. 

Thanks for the fast reply.
