A (dd)bridge and two Flex modules (= 4 Tuner) are working for some months now. You just have to compile the driver from the media-build-experimental repository of Oliver Endriss - if you use Ubuntu/yaVDR there is a DKMS package which makes installation easy. They are a bit more expensive than other cards but have advantages: the dual tuner module just needs one cable and it's no problem to connect a second module with a short cable from the antenna output of the first module. And since they are small cards it's just a matter of the slot bracket if you want it full or low profile.

It would, but in that case the automatic shutdown would be disabled too. In that case, hitting the power button is required to get inactive, resulting in the same frequent shutdown retries as before. @Torsten: Regarding the original problem, to what value is your MinUserInactivity option set? If you did set that to a very small value, you're probably trying to get around an automatic shutdown issue the wrong way.

There's always the possibility to patch your own vdr. :) Lars.
