I just tried recording the Super-RTL channel on DVB-T here in the area
east of Munich, and it worked just fine.

"Vesa" did state in his posting dated 2010-10-15/15:39 that the modification
to dvbsubtitle.c is not necessary, but I just want to make it clear why that
is so.

The check

  if (STC >= 0) {

acts on the raw STC value returned by the device, which was allowed to
be -1 in case that device is unable to return the STC. Limiting this to
32 bit would break this check.

For version 1.7.17 of VDR I will make it mandatory for devices that
can replay to return a valid STC value in GetSTC(), and the above check
is then obsolete (since the 'else' branch of that 'if' was never implemented,
anyway).

There is a fix for this from Reinhard Nissl still pending in my pipeline.
It will be one of the next things I'll attend to...

Hi,

perhaps the pid's have changed. Pls do a rescan (with wscan or so) and
compare the newly generated channels.conf with your entry.
