[vdr] Re: Strange behaviour (bug?) when recording on RAI channels

[Mattia Rossi <mattia@technologist.com>]

Hi Ondrej,
If you can understand Italian, please have a look at this thread
(registration required):
http://www.dvb-italia.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=909

The solution for us was an upgrade of the linux-dvb drivers to the
version used in vdr 1.2.6:
ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/linux-dvb.2003-11-08.tar.bz2

Please try upgrading (the driver upgrade should be enough, if not,
please upgrade also vdr to 1.2.6) and let us know whether that fixed the
problem (the user having problems was using a single dvb 1.3 card, we
couldn't reproduce the problem with Rev. 2.1 cards)

Take Care

Mattia
