Could you attach (or, better, upload to pastebin.com) the whole log file. Are you running vdr with --log=3? I need to see 'idle timer' debug messages and some other debug stuff. Could you also apply this change

Thanks for testing.

Thanks - I built it and and have had it running for about 24 hours:
A couple of observations: I'm seeing this about every 30 - 60 mins as expected, but the timeout seems to be short - not the PowerdownTimeoutM (I assume minutes?) set at 15 in the config file
...
I haven't had a chance to take the server down to insert the power monitor yet, but will do so at convenient time in the next few days
Thanks Richard

Yes, sure. The patch against VDR-2.2.0: http://pastebin.com/D4VQd1rG
While testing set VDR log level to 3 (--log=3) and use this helper script to monitor your frontends: http://pastebin.com/uW4NW0rZ
Don't forget to enable power saving in the Setup->LNB menu.
If you don't have sudo (you're not on Debian or Ubuntu), remove it and run the script as root. It would be great if you could measure the power consumption of you tuners (at least the USB one).
Best, Sergey Chernyavskiy.

I'd like to give it a go on DVB & DVBT-2 tuners (1 PCI, 1 USB) Would you be kind enough to post a version for VDR2.20 or advise changes necessary?
Thanks Richard

For about a month now. Tested with 3 different DVB-S/S2 tuners with VDR 2.3.1 and VDR 2.2.0 (requires minor changes to the patch) - rock solid. I don't have VPS, so I can't test it. The same is about DVB-T/C tuners. After all, if something doesn't work this feature can be disabled (and it is disabled by default),
