Hi all,
i have a problem with the following situation in method 
DVBRecorder::StartRecording():
:
- During a heavy rainfall the signal get's worse and worse until the the 
poll() function
   times out (ret==0) so i saw the "No data from card in 1 second" message.
   (So i guess this works as expected)

- After the rain with now normal receive conditions, the timeout on 
poll() doesn't go
   away.

Restarting the backend or channel change doesn't help.
The szap utility from  linux-dvb-apps-1.1.0  shows perfect values
 (status 1f signal 'a...', snr 'b...', ber=0 and unc=0)

The onliest solution i saw was the reboot of the system.
After rebooting everything works again. (No timeout on poll())

I have a Technisat SkyStar 2 DVB card.

Anyone else with the same problem?

Kind regards
Lothar
