Which firmware are you using? A log showing driver startup might be useful. Does OSD work fine before the error occurres? Does the VDR recover if you wait some time (1 or 2 minutes) before you press the next key? You might also try whether this driver improves things: http://linuxtv.org/hg/~endriss/v4l-dvb-av7110-refactoring/ CU Oliver -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- VDR Remote Plugin 0.3.9: http://www.escape-edv.de/endriss/vdr/ ---------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
