Interesting. I also have the feeling that the "channel not sync'ed" appears
more often since it is that hot these days. However, when my VDR starts a
recording and the channel doesn't sync immediately, it does so after the
automatic driver reload done by 'runvdr'. The temperature shouldn't be
much different (if any) after a driver reload, though.
