Hello Christoph,
That sounds like a good point but the data indicates that usb bandwidth should not be an issue.
I use a spare SSD device for the recordings and I have also tested with a classic hard disc and also with an NFS share. Always the same issue.
The performance of the SSD is:
14# dd if=/dev/zero of=./test bs=1M count=1000 1000+0 records in 1000+0 records out 1048576000 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 45.2508 s, 23.2 MB/s
15# hdparm -tT /dev/sda1
/dev/sda1: Timing cached reads: 710 MB in 2.00 seconds = 354.27 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 88 MB in 3.06 seconds = 28.75 MB/sec
A speed of 20+ MB/s should be sufficient to record an HD channel.
While doing this test I can watch HD TV without any artefacts.
Any other idea?

Hi, it meuns your system is not able to process all the data received in time. where do you write your recordings? I guess its a usb-harddisk connected to your raspi, correct? It's probably just to slow to write all the data vdr throws at it. Or your usb-bus is saturated with all the data flowing in from your receiver and back out to the harddisk. Christoph

One more hint to the problem.
Another test with recording Arte HD gives the following output in user.log:

What does that mean?
