Will update soon. One thing changed: my 15 month old son has learned to open the glass doors of the vdr cabinet, and loves to switch on/off that equipment. Thus we had to close the doors completely, which where partly open before and lock the doors which possibly raised the temperature inside vdr a bit (together with the extraordinary warm weather..). Unfortunately, the board isn't supported by lm_sensors :-(, thus I'm not sure, and the dvb cards get pretty warm anyway. Could this result in such effects? On the old system with 1.2.6, we suffered from damaged recordings with heavy blocked pixel trash from time to time, which seemed to be fixed by update to the current stuff. Hmm, Pete
