Package: vdr
Version: 2.4.0-1+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
during system startup VDR is mostly started before the DVB device is ready (USB Hauppauge WinTV-dualHD DVB). VDR then exits with an error. You can see this in /var/log/messages:

I tried the fix suggested in https://github.com/VDR4Arch/vdr4arch/issues/18#issuecomment-16367463 and it workes just fine; with this patch VDR is always running after a reboot:
