 Feel free to ask if you still have questions...

 Btw is this a dual tuner i.e. do you get /dev/dvb/adapter0 and 1?
If yes you might want to test if it can really use both tuners or
if that causes stream corruptions like with my af9035 tuner.  To
test this play two channels from different muxes, for example using
vdr-plugin-streamdev in parallel with watching one channel via vdr-sxfe,
or play two channels from different muxes both via streamdev.

 If you do get corruptions you can try forcing hw pidfiltering by
adding "-m dvb-usb-init.force_pid_filter_usage=1" to webcamd_flags
in rc.conf and see if that helps.  (Or I just see maybe it's
"-m dvb_usb_core.force_pid_filter_usage=1" for your tuner.)

 And if that doesn't help you may want to add "-D 0" to vdr_flags
in rc.conf so that it only uses one tuner so as not to mess up
recordings etc.

 And let me know what you find so we can add this info to the wiki...

 Thanx, :)
