Firstly, I have managed to find a short-term solution to the problem. When I add the following line to my modules.conf, the frontend becomes rather stable upon a cold boot: above budget-core grundig_29504-401 If I replace that line with something else appropriate, the DVB stuff fails instantly on my box upon VDR initialisation, requiring a reboot. I have also attached thestrace output samples you asked for: named "working" and "failure", both indicative of my experiments on the initialisation of DVB with varying modules.conf settings. I hope this assists you in solving this irritating issue... :) Cheers, John
