[vdr] Re: Card revision 1.3 and 2.1 not interchangeble?

[ma.hoff@t-online.de (Martin Hoffmann)]

afaik the 2.1 and 1.3 work both with the same driver and settings - for me it 
was no problem to exchange a defective 1.3 with a new 2.1 and everything 
worked without any changes - except that the 2.1 seems to stay black-screen 
after running several day and then switching a channel :-( This is somewhat 
annoying but can be cured by driver reload - but that's another story ! 
Basically 1.3 and 2.1 are interchangeable.

Maybe you should check your system for irq conflicts only occuring with the 
new card ... Sometimes some bios settings (or reconfigure pci settings in 
bios after installing the new card - but depends on your mainboard)
