Not sure how long it'll take to switch over once it's up.

Cheers,
Steve

I had some odd issues with DVB-T on Sunday, reception issue due to rain
meant I only had intermittent lock. Instead of getting 2.5GB/Hr files I
was getting 3.8Gb. Very odd but my backend stayed up.

Typical - and I had only just re-enabled the DVB-S card yesterday morning!

I haven't had a crash, but my test DVB-S recording on Sunday afternoon died
after increasing amounts of 'rain fade'. This could be due to the large amount
of rain on Sunday in Auckland :-) Probably also related to B1 wandering.

Hopefully asap if the combined weight of Sky subscribers have anything to say
about it. End of October?

The work around I'm using is to create a really big swap file. I'm
currently using 2GB which lets me record at least an hour without any
problem. Then I just have restart mythbackend once a day or so.

Cheers,
Steve

Buggeration. Time to load the sticking plaster cron job -- running
'/etc/init.d/mythtv-backend start' every three minutes. Does anyone else do
this?

The sooner it goes up and the sooner FreeView gets off the ground, the better.

Too much like work, that. I don't want to fiddle with lirc -- knowing my
luck, it'll break my Technisat USB remote. Plus then I wouldn't have any
EPG -- my sole source (no broadband) is DVB-S EIT using tv_grab_dvb.

I've got it ticking over nicely and, the moment I fiddle with it, it tends
to turn to custard. So I leave it alone when it (mostly) works.

Current word is not formal services until March 2007 for FreeView.

TOUCH WOOD... mine is steady at 8.2% for the backend although I do notice
mythfrontend using MUCH more memory and cpu since I've updated to 0.20 on my
Gentoo boxn
