It also happens with standard 2.6.9 kernel and the dvb drivers that come
with that.

Its a problem between the kernel (drivers) and vdr, no matter what the 
viewer is.

Thats interesting. I will test if Windows also gets no data after a cold 
start. What I read from others is that the problem only occurs in Linux.

I have the same card in my productive VDR computer with kernel 2.4.x
and there it has no problems.

The question is how to find what causes this problems. I already tried
to play around with my bios settings, but it did not help either.

Dear dvb developers, is there anything I can do to help finding this bug?

Kind regards,
Stefan
