[vdr] Sky Freesat and VDR

2007-06-04 Thread Alasdair Campbell
As I've just been told that the scaffolding currently surrounding the communal aerial in my neighbourhood will be up for months, I'm looking at purchasing a DVB-S card. The terrestrial analogue reception is just terrible, so much that my dvb-t cards keep choking and dying. As I'm in the UK, and ha

[vdr] Serious bug? VDR v1.4.4 deletes recordings

2007-06-04 Thread Pasi Juppo
Hi, For some reason VDR has decided to remove recordings. I've been suspecting this for some time but now I'm sure. I've been recording Tomi Traktori (a serie for kids) and there used to way more recordings that single page. Now only single page and all recordings in 2007 have been deleted. There

Yes, VDR remove recordings, depending on its priority and lifetime value. See MANUAL: a recording will last at least the number of days specified in "LIFETIME" before it is deleted because another recording with a higher priority needs the diskspace. Set LIFETIME to 99 and it will stay until yo

Cannot verify that these deleted recordings were using 99 as lifetime but all remaining recordings do have it set as 99. And I don't recall changing this setting in autotimer ever (default in my case is 99). Br, Pasi Helge Lenz wrote: > Yes, VDR remove recordings, depending on its priority and li

[vdr] vdr and 28.2E EPG ?

Hi all, I've just tuned my second dish on 28.2E, viewing many FTA channels. Curiously, vdr doesn't display any EPG (just now & next information). Is there any special transponder I must tune to download EPG, or SKY uses a non standard EPG ? In this case, could you give me a link ? Thanks. __
