My DECT phone station is about 6 meters and two walls away from the VDR server.
I don't think it is responsible for the problem.

I don't know yet what triggers the problem, but when it happend last (I
think around midnight of 18/19 may) I managed again to make things work by
doing the following:

The bad channel in that case was Pro7. I switched to RTL and started to
record it. I then switched to WDR3 and started to record it. After that, I
switched again to Pro7 and the problem was gone. Stopping the still running
recording on WDR3 didn't harm then. As all this has absolutely no influence
on my DECT phone and this "starting two recordings and stopping them again"
procedure fixed the problem at least three times now, I don't think it is
DECT related.

When I saw the problem for the first time, I couldn't see Pro7 at all (black
screen) and VDR did not record anything! What confuses me is that the tech
patch showed bit errors when the problem happened.

I'll give it a try if the problem occurs again. Since I'm very busy this can
take some time.


Thanks, ciao,
