Situation:
dvb-s 1.3, Mandrake 9.0 vdr 1.1.15
station: 3sat
=> reproducable crash and image distortion when using osd (volume up/down 
1-1.5 times)

then set the CA to Premiere World => record again => try to trigger the crash 
=> no way to crash it with Vol+/- No distortion

Set it back to FTA => crash and other way round. So it definitly helps.

And I don't have a cam/card in right now, so no cam/ci is needed

Just a question open: Can this be caused by the disabled transfer-view , since 
with cam only lifeview should be possible ? If that is the case, there seems 
to be a bug again in channel-locking-code. 
If I set 3sat to PW, switch record on and then switch the channel I can go 
away from that channel, but cannot go back and after a while there is a 
crash.

I guess I have to make things clearer and have to investigate a littlebit more 
... but at the moment it seems there are some problems. 

Wish you all a happy new year !!!
