[mythtv-users] Zero length recordings

[James Pattinson]

Hi All

I'm using DVB-S and am being plagued by zero length recordings. 
Everything will be OK for a couple of days, then suddenly everthing will 
be zero length. The messages I get in the log look like this:

2005-06-28 11:03:57.478 DVB#0 WARNING - No data from card in 1 second.

Normally if I reboot the box it will solve the problem temporarily. I 
was running 2.6.11-gentoo-r6 kernel but updated a few days ago to 
vanilla 2.6.12.1 as I'd heard that the DVB drivers had been updated to 
correct this issue but I'm still getting the problem.

Has anyone here seen this issue? I'm using a single SkyStar card and 
MythTV 0.18.1.

Thanks
