[mythtv-users] empty recordings with multirec

I have now strange problem. If I schedule two recordings starting same 
time and same multiplex, I get only empty rec files. I have three DVB-T 
cards, and recording priority is set +2 for card3, +1 for card2 and 0 
for card1. This way myth uses cards starting from card3 for recordings, 
and liveTV starts from card1. I have set multirec to use three virtual 
tuners for each card. So, If I schedule two (or more) recordings at same 
time and same multiplex, myth uses card3 for them. But does not record 
anything.

It seems like Stream handler crashes for some reason. I use 0.21 with 
svn fixes 16588.
Tv card3 is Hauppage nova (conexant chipset)

Thanks,
