Two points:
1) Some stations seem to have problems with audio. RBB Berlin has always 
a noisy/stuttering sound, which also appears on my standalone Sat receiver.
2) I have often problems with live viewing a channel while recording it. 
I don't have a standalone VDR but use my PC with xawtv. Sometimes it 
happens that some process is working on the disc and if it takes longer 
the live view stops until the access is finished. And sometimes this 
also results in a buffer overflow/frame drops. Therefore I try to avoid 
watching the same channel that is recorded. If I want to see the 
program, I watch the recording with a minimum delay of a few seconds. 
This way I don't have buffer overflows anymore. I think it also has to 
do with xawtv (or others), which is grabbing the pictures (overlay), 
producing an addtional load on the bus.
