I'm having that problem for some weeks now:
I've been using VDR for about 1.5 year *without any problems* (v1.0.4 and then 
some developer releases starting around 1.1.20). Someday I changed to a newer 
VDR release, might be 1.1.29, but I can't remember :-(
From that time there are recordings that are that damaged as described above. 
I can not figure out why. The only thing I found is that if the recording is 
OK from the beginning, it's all OK. E.g. last monday I wanted to record 
something in the evening at ZDF. I tried 3-4 times but all recordings broken. 
Then I made VDR to record it on the primary card -> recording was OK.
On friday I recorded something at BR3. It worked, but the broadcast started 
half an hour later, so I manually started it -> it didn't work!
So I tested multiple recordings on the secondary card: 3 times recording BR3 
-> all OK

I'm really confused what's going on there. I can't believe it's some DECT 
phone, cabling, dish or hardware problem, because that didn't change the last 
1.5 year.

One thing I found yesterday evening:
It was not posible to record _any channel_ without distortions on the 2nd 
DVB-s (rev2.1) until I restarted (via osd menu). Afterwards recordings were 
clean.
I never had problems with LiveTV (rev1.3) card!

Regards,
Andreas
