Do you have a special channels.conf, or are you using the one that comes
with the VDR archive? The problem may have to do with the sequence in which
the channels are switched. Please send me your channels.conf (private email),
so I can try that one - or try the original channels.conf on your system
and check if the problem still persists.

My two recent patches deal with the OSD and replaying still pictures, so
I don't think they would cure your problem.

How many DVB cards do you have in your system? I'm wondering if the
"read incomplete section" message came from the card that did the recording.
