My VDR backend has its EPG scan timeout set to 5 hours. If I happen to be watching TV at the moment this timeout elapses, VDR sends a message "Starting EPG scan" and signal is lost. Afterwards, trying to switch to any channel produces a few seconds of picture and then again signal is lost. Apparently VDR continues its EPG scan despite the fact that the xbmc frontend is actively connected.
I have observed this behavior for a couple of weeks. A restart of vdr "fixes" it, at least for the next 5 hours. :)
