Hello
after upgrading from 1.4.3 to 1.4.5 i am sometimes kicked off the "live view" with warning
"VPS-Aufnahme beginnt in Kürze"
I can switch back to channel i want to see, but not for long.
I have 3 FF cards so usually there would be a free card to get the VPS signal.
After the VPS recording has started, the card seems to be free.
I rember that at 1.4.3 a short discussion occurs. One said: "That the good way, simply don't use VPS" the other said: "I have a patch, the only disadvantage: Your screen will blank for fractions of a second at some/every start of recording".
Of cause only the second solution would be the least annoying, but obvioulsy, VDR choose the "non-user-compatible" way? :-(
What do have to do to avoid this annoying card locking in the VPS-margin?
(See below only 2 transponders are involved, the system has 3(!) DVT-S FF cards.)

I tried this with VDR 1.5.13 (AFAICS there was no change regarding VPS recordings in vdr.c since 1.4.7) by programming 4 recordings on 2 transponders, all with VPS. I had to increase the VPS margin to have them all within the VPS margin, but the live channel was never switched away.
I have 3 DVB-S cards in my system.
Does your system have 3 DVB-S cards? You wrote "DVT-S", so I'm wondering if this was just a typo.
Can all your DVB-S cards be tuned independent of each other? IIRC you're using the "lnb sharing" patch, which might interfere here.
