Re: Dual tuner (pvr250+tv-wonder) stops recording
[In reply to]

I too am having this problem, does anyone know how to fix this? I have
done some testing and have discovered that if left alone, it will record
all day long without any problems. But if you try to watch a previously
recorded program, or the program that it is recording, or even trying
mplayer on a previously recorded program, it may or may not stop
recording. The only thing I can find is in my dmesg, I see a message
saying "set channel 1" This seems to happen around the same time that the
recording stops. Would it be better to post this on the ivtv list?
