I've got the same problem - but not only with encrypted channels. But I 
have to admit that I've always had tuning problems during/after EPG scans 
with my revision 2.1 Hauppauge card(s). Some time after starting an EPG 
scan (which runs on the second card if you have more than one), VDR will be 
unable to tune the channel properly. Consequently, if a recording starts on 
that card, VDR will restart.

I'm pretty sure that my dish is properly aligned. I've also applied Stefan 
Huelswitt's patch but it didn't help. At least on my installation, this 
does not look like a problem of VDR (but instead the driver) to me.

I've got serious replay problems with VDR 1.1.20 when a recording is 
running on the second card (dropouts, a/v out of sync, no fast 
forward/backward possible). Please see the message "replay hickups when 
recording on second interface" I wrote to the list last week for details 
(http://www.linuxtv.org/mailinglists/vdr/2003/01-2003/msg00932.html).

With the modified file reader class of the latest VDR 1.1.22, the problem 
occours less frequently. I'm currently recording a show with VDR 1.1.22 so 
I will see if the problem is gone completely when replaying a file that was 
recorded with the latest version of VDR.
