Hi all, I'm using a VDR system with 4 skystar2 cards. I'm disabled vdr watchdog and code line who jumps out vdr when the signal is noisy, because when this enabled, and I have noise in one frequency, vdr jumps out and ruins all other input recordings. But there are some times that all recordings fail. I suspect to DVB driver, because VDR records, but file size of recordings are 0, and when I restart system, every things go well again. The question is, how I can detect dvb driver failure, rather than signal failure, to restart system just in driver failure times?

Thanks.

Do you load dvb-core.ko with dvb_shutdown_timeout=1? (insmod ./dvb-core.ko dvb_shutdown_timeout=1) If not you should try that. What driver version are you using? Are you on FTA channels? Are there hints in your log files? I have 2 skystar2´s and can not remember any driver problems in the last years. Jörg
