Hi,

in the time I was in holidays my VDR had a problem: for ca. 50 minutes
he makes one driver reload after another, the error message: Channel not
snc'ed. 

The log:

Recording starts, all OK:

and so on...
later a second recording starts, same error message pn another channel:

When I came home three days later ;-( VDR was dead, I started it and
it's working now.

Any ideas what the problem was? And why didn't runvdr reload the driver
after 22:04?

Happy new year,
  Ansgar.
