My soon-to-be-wife is recording two "home and away" each day, they are not sent back-to-back.
The last days, the second recording resulted in zero-byte .ts file, when the first is recorded fine each time.
This is the log of last failed record:
(it should record on the analog card

it seems it's trying to use fireDTV instead of the analog card, (I have no subscription for the coded channels yet)
- but why does it try to use DTV ? - last recording was done on the analog device.

thanks in advance.

problem solved after removing encoded channel "TV2" from channel list.
but why did it record using analog (as scheduled) , then 2 hours later, tried DTV ? (analog device was NOT busy)

There seems to be a issue with analogue cards not being released correctly when finished recording, this is being looked at by the devs (if not fixed already )
