I'm using 2 DVB-S cards. Try with one card ... does you mean I
should remove one card from the system? Well, I won't do that, as
my vdr box is installed into a cabinet and I had to disassemble
the whole equipment to open the case. Far too much work.

If you mean, that I should start vdr with -D 1: this could be an
option, but as the error isn't reproducable quickly this would
mean I had to run days with one card. Not a good solution, too.

But if you're thinking that this is a multi card (maybe multi
thread) problem, we could insert some debuging/safety check
statements at apropriate places and see what happens.
