Could you please describe this a bit closer? I changed MAXBROKENTIMEOUT to 60 an removed the line "cThread::EmergencyExit(true);". vdr does not do a restart anymore (as expected) but the recording ends there nevertheless. By the way -- the video stream shown on the TV does not indicate that it would be broken.

I utilize a DVB-C card (Hauppauge WinTV-DVB-C).
