Today VDSB striked again, with the original patch still applied: 14:59:35 vdr[2376]: ERROR: frontend 1 timed out while tuning - re-tuning 14:59:59 last message repeated 7 times 15:00:00 vdr[2376]: timer 3 (***************) start 15:00:00 vdr[2376]: record **************** 15:00:03 vdr[2376]: ERROR: frontend 1 timed out while tuning - re-tuning 15:00:30 last message repeated 9 times 15:00:31 vdr[2376]: ERROR: video data stream broken 15:00:31 vdr[2376]: initiating emergency exit If I remember correctly, then in all cases a replay was running, while the budget card was switching from EPG scan to timer recording. Does anyone know whether the tuner of the primary card goes offline while a playback is running? With only one tuner, running an EPG scan, my multiswitch may be failing and simply doesnt get up again until the primary tuner helps out. Cheers, Udo
