I have the same problem. I have one DVB-s and one NOVA-s card in my system.
I use VDR for over 1 1/2 years and I started with vdr 0.9.x.  Untill version
1.0.4 everything works well. After i switched to vdr 1.1.x, vdr restart if
it use the NOVA card for recording (/var/log/messages: "video data stream
broken"), but only after turn on the computer. With VDR 1.2.1 I get no
messages in the log and VDR don't use the second card until I make a restart
by myself.
I don't know if this fault is a driver or a vdr issues, but I things it's a
driver problem.
