>What kind of DVB card are you using?

2.1 and 
nova  (Rev. 1.1 TT2000.6)

switched the antenna plugs: Both signals are OK.

>Maybe it's a problem between the latest driver and your card type?


Went back to 094+dvb 20010803(Did not help)

I opened the case to reduce temperature 
(CPU from 40C down to 34C, that's not so much, and 40C on the
die (PIII-diode) is nothing)

immediate record of SF1 (channel 9)-> after few seconds that error.

removed the nova, reboot etc.

immediate record of SF1 -> no error

Reinsert the nova
immediate record of SF1 -> after few seconds that error!!!

started another record on channel 10
Starts.

stopping the record on channel 9 (on the nova)

the box "dies", 
lirc_ "buferoverflows" (the user level seems to be "dead")
on condole
Power comsumtion rises because no "idle"-task is running.


it looks liek this (pls. scroll down, more text follows)

Reboot

Both timers starts (? hm...)

instandly "MPEG1" errors

Stopping the record on the nova:
No MPEG1 errors 
(Channel switch gives the message "(channel locked recording)")

Now i started record on the nova card:
almost immediatley

3:03 vdr[452]: editing timer 26
3:42 vdr[452]: timer 26 modified (active)

5:04 vdr[452]: timer 26 stop
5:04 vdr[452]: deleting timer 26




So:

2.1 playing alone gives no error
2.1 recording alone gives no error
recording from the nova gives MPEG1 error.


This seems to be a problem with the/a/my DVB-s nova
or a second card, if it is a nova.
But I always said that i have dropouts...:-)
(Hm...there is no room in the MS6215 case for a another full size.)
Any way how to get more infos if this special card is broken
or if there is a problem with nova tho.



Now i had the idea, that VDR might be able do do 
a record with the nova alone:
It seeems not to work:
