[linux-dvb] strange things happening...

[Guido Fiala <gfiala@s.netic.de>]

Just tried to record IFA-TV with vdr-0.91,dvb-Aug.5.

While _watching_ IFA TV is just fine, recording (via instant record or manual 
timer), leads to vdr crash after a few seconds, then it restarts via the 
runvdr-script and it happens again...

@Klaus: one has no chance to stop the timer via menu then - you need to 
manually edit timers.conf to make it usable again!
