Hi,
I've seen this before, so I thought I should record it.
In the UK, some Freeview (DVB) channels only broadcast part time. For example, BBC3 starts at 7pm.
If you set MP to record the first programme on BBC3, at 7pm, then it will try to start the recording 5 minutes before. As there is nothing being broadcast at that time, all I get is a 6kB file, duration zero seconds.
This is with RC4 and an SVN update from around the middle of last week (not at that computer right now, so can't be more specific.
As I noted, I have seen this happen before, and it's totally reproducible.
Please can others verify this behaviour? If a recording fails due to lack of signal, is it possible to keep checking every minute, until the actual time of the programme, for this eventuality?
I note that the bit red blob to show recording does show on the main TV page during the expected recording time.
Hope this helps.
Mark
