[vdr] VDR/UK Nova-T/dxr3 issues

[Morfsta <morfsta@irmplc.com>]

Hi, 

This is my first posting to the list, and I'd like to say I'm impressed
with VDR, its apparent that a lot of hard work has gone into it. I will be
happy to contribute where I can - firstly I have written a script to pull
EPG listings from "xmltv" and feed them into VDR. This provides 4 days of 
EPG information.

I am running the latest VDR dev, with dxr3 plugin and Nova-T card am
having problems with recording radio. It appears to record, but upon
playback the process hangs (even though the disk appears to read), with no
visual output and no response to commands.  The only way to restart VDR is
through a kill -9 to the process.

Also, I have seen this discussed before, but there appears to be problems 
with VDR/DXR3 and getting 16:9 broadcasts with the Nova-T in the UK. 
Whichever settings I use (4:3/16:9 in VDR/em3800setup) I can't seem to 
get a true 16:9 picture on my widescreen display - rather always 4:3 
letterbox. 

Finally, I can't receive BBC2 from the Crystal Palace transmitter even 
though all the other channels are perfect (and I can receive it with the 
Windows Hauppauge app). Is there a problem with the channels.conf file? 
Does anyone know where I can get a technical list of frequencies and PIDs 
for the Freeview service? I can't seem to find them on the net... I tried 
using dvbtune and this seems extremely flakey, sometimes it finds channels 
and other time it completely misses them

I'd certainly appreciate it if anyone had some answers to these problems,

Cheers, 

Morfsta
