r7317 with tuning-patch7 (on debian64, dvb-t) doesn't have such a high
cpu load anymore. Only 20-25% on AMD64-3000+.
But there are still some issues:

Pressing R to record on LiveTV only shows a black screen here:

2005-09-26 19:40:45.513 SyncPositionMap liveTV, from Encoder: 130 entries

2005-09-26 19:41:02.111 RemoteFile::Read() failed in RingBuffer::safe_read().

Every recording appears now twice in the recording list. It's possible
to press enter on both entries to start watching.

When a scheduled recording is going to begin while I watch LiveTV it
just leaves LiveTV. Then it's not possible to start LiveTV anymore (it
just shows a black screen for a short moment and leaves it again).
Unfortunately it doesn't record the scheduled show. The only thing
that activates the scheduled show is a BE restart.

ff/rw still are strange in LiveTV, most of the time it just jumps in
very small steps only instead of 30 seconds, sometimes the time jumps
in 30sec steps but livetv still stays at the same position.

Do you need any traces?
