As i've seen today, this must not be the case:
I watched (and recorded) today Farscape and suddenly I saw distortions.
My first thought was an problem with my PC/drivers/vdr. But I switched
my TV back to cable and saw distortions also - on Pro 7 was the same
problem, but not on RTL. I took a look at wetteronline.de and saw
an thunderstorm (?) near Munich at the same time on the radar.
As long vdr wanted to record this timer, I couldn't start vdr, because
it couldn't succesfully switch back to Sat. 1 (Emergency exit -
driver reload = endless loop).
Another case, where we have no influence on. :-(
By the way:
VDR doesn't start a recording, if you watch the EPG, while the timer
time has come, if you are on an different channel (I've only 1 card).
