[vdr] Re: Error handling vs. user friendliness.

- VDR does an "emergency exit" when it fails to tune to a channel.  This
  renders VDR to be completely unusable as long as at least one bad
  channel entry exists.  A bad LNB, a broken cable or a bird in front of
  one of the LNBs would make VDR unusable, too.  Why not just ignore (or
  give a warning) on bad entreis?

- VDR restarts continously when there is no signal in one of the available
  frontends.  Therefore you can't put the box to a different location just
  to watch some recordings.  You will need to take the dish along, although
  you don't want to watch live TV.

Yea, this two are really bad. With the old VHS I could still watch a recording if the satellite signal was gone because of bad weather. Ok, there may be reasons for this to reset the dvb drivers, however, if the reset didn't change anything there is no need for another reset.
