Hi,

Please check the value of the dvb_shutdown_timeout parameter of the dvb-core module.
It should be 0 .

For more information, read <http://www.linuxtv.org/mailinglists/linux-dvb/2004/03-2004/msg00064.html>

Another solution : don't exit szap after tuning :
szap -a 0 -c channels.conf -n 004 &
./mhwepg -a 0 -s S19.2E -o /var/vdr/epg.tmp

I hope it will solve your problem.
