Hi Oliver,

I am sure, Uwe read the manual. 

As he had written, "vdr did it's job well: ...". When I read
this, for the first time, I just laughed about Uwe's humor.
Although - a 17h recording ... ;-)

I went into the same situation last night. Fortunately I
saw it early enough and could stopp the recording after
5 hours.
