Hello
Just found vdr 1.4.7 running instead of beeing switched off.
No audio no live image, but OSD works OK!
I can switch between channels,
OSD displays the current(!) EPG Info!
But no live image/sound!
Restarting VDR via OSD does not change anything.
But:
Starting replaying a record make the TV "live" angain.
But:
VDR now states -errornous-
dvb-ttpci: ARM crashed @ card 1
how can the OSD work with a crashed ARM?
I found:
only the antenna signal was bad! (terristrical antenna dismounted long time
ago, because no one uses DVB-T ...)
Nothing had "crashed", no reason to stop recording or to restart VDR
(what would not have helped!)
Since i upgraded to 1.4.7 ctvdr i have to "fiddle" every evening on the box
to make (em, "try to" ) it run reliable again-
it's annoying and frustrating!
What happend to vdr between 1.4.3 and 1.4.7?
It seems to have become worser, not better.
("ARM crashed" i had 6 years ago in the beginningof the VDT with the
-broken by design- 1.3 cards, but there only 2.x cards which ran flawlessly
with 1.4.3.).
Are developpers happy with such mulish(?) behaviour of the software?
"break down entrirely if there is no antenna signal on one of 4(!) cards".

29:07 vdr vdr: [3721] frontend 0 timed out while tuning to channel
87, tp 762
WTF tuned to channel 87 at this time?
(EPG scan, after 5h!)
chanel 87 is on DVB-T. DVT-T has no antenna in the moment.
Why does VDR have a problem with that "state" and does not handle ist
benign?
It forgot to start recordings because EPG scan(!) tunes to a card without
antenna!
A colleage who tried VDR became almost mad after he plugged in a second
DVB-S: vdr contious to restart after a short while!
You laugh?
He he was not laughing because he already wasted an entire weekingend
in swapping cards etc.
until he learned that every card in the system MUST
have a -good- antenna signal, regardless if the card is used or not...
because EPG scan would use every card and that VDR behaves -unexpectable-
sick without -good- antenna signals.
sevaral hours agao, EPG scan, which was on because of a reinstallation.
Why is EPG scan enabled by default?
It not needed for work, it ist only a "nice to have" because 1sec
-in words one second- is saved after a program switch until the info is
shown. It's not worth the trouble it made to turn it on by default!
