Recording DVB-T channel that has not yet started (1 Viewer)

[gloomyandy]

Hi,
I think Ive just seen a possible problem but I can't confirm it with the latest svn because of other issues. Perhaps someone else would like to try it and see. Basically the problem is that if you schedule a recording for the first program on a channel that is not operating all of the time then the recording fails (you end up with a zero length recording). Ok so here is how to reproduce...
1. Select a channel that is not operating all the time (like the UK ITV4 channel).
2. Schedule a recording for the first program on this channel after it starts, set padding to say 5 minutes so that the recording will start before the channel is "live".
3. Wait and see what happens!

Will try this again when I can, but perhaps another UK user could try it with a late svn.

Thanks

Andy

Thanks! It will be interesting to see how you get on. The program I had problems with was the Grand Prix qualifying today. It was the first program on ITV4 this afternoon. ITV4 was off air until then.

Thanks again

Andy

I can confirm that exactly the same thing happened to me today with the F1 qualifying on ITV4, and I can also confirm that I have seen the same behaviour before. This has happened mostly on ITV4 (usually motor racing scheduled as the first programme of the day), but I believe I have seen this with other channels too.

I am currently using SVN 14754 (29-05-2007), but this has happened with several previous SVNs and (I think) the original 0.2.2.0
