Re: [vdr] broken recordings
Hi, it meuns your system is not able to process all the data received in time. where do you write your recordings? I guess its a usb-harddisk connected to your raspi, correct? It's probably just to slow to write all the data vdr throws at it. Or your usb-bus is saturated with all the data flowing in from your receiver and back out to the harddisk.

Hi, I guess ProjectX will do the trick, it is scriptable. At least vdrconvert uses it this way to generate DVD-streams from VDR-recordings. the only downside is, it needs an X-server to run.

Re: [vdr] [OT] Questions to VGA2SCART cable
Hi, as far as i read, all these are kabels to connect a scart-OUTPUT to an VGA-INPUT. (scart-out of receiver to vga-in of a beamer/lcd-tv) These cables are useless for connecting a VGA-card to a monitor, as they do not handle the vga-sync-singals correct. If you use them, you probably won't get a picture and perhaps will fry your tv and/or vga-card.

The distance between the VDR and the CRT TV will be probably 5 meters. There are some howtos on the WWW on how to build a cable yourself [2].

So what you are saying is that a quad LNB can supply any of the 4 freqs/polarization down any of its 4 connections? Any if required the same signal down all 4 connections? This solution is certainly a lot cheaper because otherwise he would need 12 input lines, so the spaun would not have worked as it only had 8 Sat input lines.
