This being a vdr machine, the reboot is either planned or due to a power 
loss, and I suppose that the latter would really reset the device, but I 
didn't try.
The problem is that even so (planned reboot/switch off) it only works 
sometimes.

As I'm getting older, I'm also getting lazier, so I'm not going to sue 
you ;-)
