Hi,
Problem: Sometimes when VDR starts I don't get a picture to the TV. Tuning fails and I get this to /var/log/messages: [2315] frontend 0 timed out while tuning to channel 3, tp 658 I do get a picture when switching channels back and forth but that's no good when I'm not watching TV. My recordings fail because of this.
When I searched the web, I found this: http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2005-December/006511.html and this: http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2005-December/006589.html
In the first link when tuning fails VDR retunes right away. Second link says that re-tuning has been removed for setups other than diseqc. I have a DVB-T card and it used to work fine before with previous VDR versions. I've had the black screen problem with vdr-1.3.42 & .44
If the problem really is that retuning has been removed, please bring it back.
Best regards, Happy VDR user Vilppa

This was true for my retuning patches for VDR-1.3.37. Since VDR-1.3.38 retuning is integrated into VDR and applies for DVB-S/C/T (see dvbdevice.c, cDvbTuner::SetFrontend() & cDvbTuner::Action()).
Bye.

If I understand you correctly vdr-1.3.44 should retune after this: Mar 11 14:01:53 xyz vdr: [2315] frontend 0 timed out while tuning to channel 3, tp 658
Instead I'm getting this: Mar 11 14:02:56 xyz vdr: [2315] frontend 0 timed out while tuning to channel 3, tp 658 Mar 11 14:03:59 xyz vdr: [2315] frontend 0 timed out while tuning to channel 3, tp 658 Mar 11 14:05:02 xyz vdr: [2315] frontend 0 timed out while tuning to channel 3, tp 658 Mar 11 14:06:05 xyz vdr: [2315] frontend 0 timed out while tuning to channel 3, tp 658 Mar 11 14:07:09 xyz vdr: [2315] frontend 0 timed out while tuning to channel 3, tp 658 Mar 11 14:08:12 xyz vdr: [2315] frontend 0 timed out while tuning to channel 3, tp 658 Mar 11 14:09:15 xyz vdr: [2315] frontend 0 timed out while tuning to channel 3, tp 658 Mar 11 14:10:18 xyz vdr: [2315] frontend 0 timed out while tuning to channel 3, tp 658
So no retuning...?
