Would you mind posting some of the new log lines which the last patch added? It would be good to prove my assumptions ;-) BTW: vdr-1.5.1 uses a further "developed" loop (in regard the the last patch) which is much closer to what szap does. The relevant part of dvbdevice.c looks like that: while (1) { if (ioctl(fd_frontend, FE_READ_STATUS, &Status) != -1) return true; if (errno != EINTR) break; } return false; Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform.
