Hi Siegfried,

I´m using vdr1.4.7 on a Suse10.3 with one FF-DVB-S-Card (technotrend rev.1.3) and one budget DVB-T (winTV nova). Everything worked well until yesterday. When I turned on the TV there was no output on the TV and when one timer started recording vdr terminated and runvdr tried to start it again - but the videosignal didn´t come up.
I had a similar problem like you. I disabled the automatic restart in VDR and then got log entries that video stream is broken and the picture on the TV stays blank. Sometimes after switching it's working sometimes not. Recordings are sometimes blank and sometimes full of distortions sometimes they are fine.
Finally it was a defect FF card. I replaced it and everything worked fine. Maybe you have the same problem but before you replace the card you maybe want to check all cable etc. These F-connectors are really ugly.
Bye, Matthias
Thank you very much! That is exactly the problem. I wondered all the last weeks why there were every now and then distortions in the recordings - well and now it obviously broke down at last. I got told something about a broken LNBP16+Elko that provides the power for the F-connector - but I don´t think I am able to replace it without damaging the card.
Well, I will have to invest something at last.
Bye Siegfried
