you (well, vdr) used more filters than were available (in hw)? less
simultaneous recordings, different hw and/or config? ("hw_sections" module
parm?). Apparently vdr recovered somehow (eg another recording ended, the
filters were opened in a different order etc).
Can't help you much more, I haven't used a FF card in years -- and since then
all dvb-related problems vanished... It wasn't 100% reliable when live
viewing, not to mention a single recording; a few novas have absolutely no
problems w/ ~ 4-6 simultaneous recordings (never counted, but i believe it
could go even higher) and this is on really low end hw (P2)...
