[vdr] Re: Idea to prevent VDR-crashes in case of bad reception (e.g. bad weather)

[Klaus Gerding <VDR@Gerding.Net>]

yes, that would be a great enhancement of vdr.

i have no problems with bad weather, but this would prevent vdr from 
hanging up when my or others dect-phone is ringing.
many dect-phone users would be very happy.
