A quick warning for anyone using DVB cards to record from part-time channels....
If the box attempts to start a recording whilst the channel is off-air the recording of that programme (and any which follow on the same channel) will fail. This is a particular risk for anyone who is using the facility to have recordings start early. On attempting to tune, the backend simply reports that the channel is off-air, followed by numerous errors that no data has been returned from the card in 1 second. Even if the channel comes on air a minute later, the backend does not attempt to tune a second time. Also, any following recording on the same channel (using the same card) will fail because the backend only attempts to retune when switching channels. Attempting to view live TV on the card also fails unless you first record something on a different channel, or restart the backend. Are there any plans to fix this? For those of you in UK this particularly applies to BBC3 and BBC4 and presumably most of the Topup TV channels for anyone with a suitable DVB-T card and a CAM. -- Mark Smith - Surrey, UK http://www.chez-moi.org.uk/
