[linux-dvb] Re: sometimes vdr 0.72 don't record

[Christoph Ackermann <christophackermann@t-online.de>]

Hello Klaus, hello Jörg,

i observed the same behaviour with vdr 0.72. Vdr won´t write data to the
disk but the card is used(I use two cards) and you have an enty in
´recordings´. The channel was nonencrypted (arte).
Instant recording works fine and an additionally initiated timed
recording on the same card and channel starts very well.

Best regards

Christoph

BTW: VDR is a great tool for me - Thank you.
