I'm not sure VDR is "idle" while a recording is paused. What is the log

I can only see a clue "trying device number 2 instead":

If I remember, there is a softhddevice's command/option called
"suspend" or "detach", or whatever, which stops live TV. That
causes idle state too.
I remember (co-)developing such a feature for softdevice (without the
"hd" part). Apart from saving power, another motivation was to reduce
the probability of crashes, because reception errors of the DVB-T stream
used to cause that back then.
Maybe I could check if something similar could be done in rpihddevice.
Still, in my opinion, when a recording is being watched and nothing is
being simultaneously recorded or streamed, there should normally be no
reason to keep any tuners powered.
BTW. Do you use both DVB-T and DVB-T2?
Yes, some transponders are DVB-T and some are DVB-T2, and I think that
all free-to-view DVB-T2 channels are also available via DVB-T. I do not
know when that transition period will end here. Wikipedia says that it
was supposed to complete by April 2020 already. The first DVB-T2
transponders were introduced in 2011.
And I've never tried the patch with VDR > 2.4.6.
The patch applied without glitches, only some line number differences.
In VDR 2.5, the EPG works for me. In 2.4, I think I never got it to
cover the DVB-T2 transponders.
Best regards,
Marko
