As I said: the reception is not my problem. At the moment this happens I looked at Pro7 (dect issue I know) and had a bad picture. Ffmpeg reported a lots of errors. femon showed non zero BER. Then I switched to ARD and had zero BER. So I think tuning to ARD was successful. Tuning back to Pro7 brings non zero BER again. I could could toggle between them with same behavior of BER. That makes me think of: the data transfer just did not start. One time it recovered. There was a vdr retune followed by a manual retune. This behavoiur sound similar to Halim Sahin's response from 2005-06-24 20:02 .
