I don't know about it restarting. The crashing with loss of signal is suposed to be a safe guard against creating blank recordings. Seems like a bad idea to me to. Just delete the bad recordings, don't crash the system. Here is the fix we've been using:
Locate the line in recorder.c and comment it out.
esyslog("ERROR: video data stream broken"); - ShutdownHandler.RequestEmergencyExit(); + // ShutdownHandler.RequestEmergencyExit();

Hi!
Yesterday, here at Southern Finland one of the TV channels had "cut out"
at
DVB stream (like half hour). And because that stream disapeared little
after
than recoding has started, VDR started to restart itself every minute
because
there was no stream... What is point to that, that VDR do restart IF there is no stream what it should record.. That affected to all other recordings too because vdr was restarting itself constantly. Not good! Is there "setting" somewhere where you can say that "do not" restart if
there
is no stream.
