Hello,

after my vacation I no longer have any reception.

3x DVB-S Budget cards
vdr (1.4.7/1.4.5) - The Video Disk Recorder
xineliboutput (1.0.0rc2) - X11/xine-lib output plugin
vompserver (0.2.6) - VDR on MVP plugin by Chris Tallon
femon (1.1.1) - DVB Signal Information Monitor (OSD)
streamdev-server (0.3.3-pre3-geni) - VDR Streaming Server

The setup has been running for quite some time, after receiving a new
dish and some new cables. Since then I have had a couple of month of
very good reception. Now, after two weeks of vacation it is no longer
functioning. Visiting the logs it seems the errors started around
20:03h, June 25th.

/var/log/messages:

Jun 25 20:03:22 vdr vdr: [11512] frontend 1 lost lock on channel 7,
tp 112544

After that; I see very sporadic

Jun 26 16:06:14 vdr vdr: [11512] frontend 1 regained lock on channel
7, tp 112544
