Dear Matthias,

all the plugin packages have been rebuilt against the new version of 
vdr. Some of them still need to migrate to testing. The satip package 
had a build bug where the soname was explicitly set to 2.6.0. . See bug 
#1098402. This was resolved with the latest upload.

Can you try, if the version from unstable is working for you?
