OK then timing is not an issue there..
If I remember right you posted something else that showed a very low signal
5000s or so both for signal and more imporantly SNR.. Is this a typical value
for you? Do you ever have reception issues? I am wondering if you just have a
bad signal or if its possible you had some signal fade when this recording was
attempted..
We also still plan on dealing with Signal Loss and Off Air channels is a much
more elegant way that will not result in timeouts like this (assuming there
isn't really a problem with the code and it will get a PMT eventually). We
could then flag the recording as questionable, but the signal handling code
isn't implimented yet..
