I am pretty sure that this problem apperars in one of the last three vdr-versions:
Recording from hr3 with DVB-C:

BER according to femon is below 400, this should be good enough.
I never noticed this with recordings on the DVB-T-device.
On vdrportal three guys reported the same problem.

This line shows me, that a TS packet (188 byte: 4 byte header + 184 byte payload) was lost. When the recording ended, you should get a couple of TS discontinuities reported in syslog.
The remuxer cannot recreate those lost bytes, but just inform about this issue. Next, one has to check, why TS packets get lost: driver isssue, hardware issue, etc.?

The signal may be strong enough, but it could also be a matter of the driver or hardware setup/configuration that packets get lost.

Possibly, because it is a different hardware/setup/configuration.
On vdrportal three guys reported the same problem.
Do they all have similar hardware/setup/configuration? Are there other people without this issue?
Bye.
