Re: [vdr] Problem when no input signal

Try commenting out the lines

if (!HasLock(TUNER_LOCK_TIMEOUT)) { esyslog("ERROR: device %d has no lock, can't attach receiver!", CardIndex() + 1); return false; }

in device.c

Maybe I should drop this timeout altogether, because it seems like it's doing more bad than good...

I dropped it since you introduced it ;-) Dropping it altogether seems to do no harm for live-view but may cause problems for recordings and/or some plugins (e.g.the infamous ttxtsubtitles plugin) if there's no signal at once (like a signal problem or a steerable dish). I already proposed a possible solution

but, as I said then, I'm not sure it's the correct one.
