[mythtv-users] How to record a TV serial

[Stephan Seitz]

Hi!

Hardware: Cine S2 V6 Dual Tuner Sat card
Distribution: Debian Linux Testing with self-made 3.4.x
Mythtv: 0.25.1-dmo1, mythfilldatabase runs daily

I want to record two TV serials broadcasted by the German channel Pro 7.  
One is Galileo (runs daily between 19:05 and 20:15), the other is taff 
(runs from Monday to Friday between 17:00 and 18:00).

I tried manual recording first, and everything worked as expected.
To get the meta information I am using the programming guide 
(Programmübersicht in my German version). But what ever I try, this is 
not reliable. The EPG information of Pro 7 are about three days ahead. So 
in the case of Galileo for example I expect the following if I set the 
recording on Sunday morning: the recording plan (Aufnahmeplan in German) 
should show a Galileo recording from Sunday to Wednesday. At Monday the 
list should show Galileo on Thursday as well.

But this doesn’t really work. Instead of seeing the recordings from 
Sunday to Wednesday, it can happen that Monday is missing, even if 
Galileo is shown in the programming guide. Sometimes an entry is 
vanishing from the list, e.g. I see the Tuesday recording on Monday, but 
if I check on Tuesday, the planned recording has vanished.

I tried to deactivate the check for recurrence, but it doesn’t change 
anything. Taff has the same problems.

Now I’m wondering if this is a problem with the channel Pro 7 or with 
mythtv. For now I will get back to manual recordings because this is more 
reliable.

Shade and sweet water!

	Stephan
