Please try dvb-kernel CVS driver.
I believe I fixed the bug in budget-core.c.

For the record: saa7146 will not issue a VPE interrupt if
- VPE bit is set in PSR and
- VPE interrupts are enabled afterwards.

@vdr-list:
For saa7146-based budget cards this will probably fix the infamous
'video data stream broken' bug after EPG scan.
