Hi guys,

When I start a recording of the current show in VDR, the show stops completely leaving a black screen. The recording plays back fine after I stop it. Is there a setting that I may have overlooked?

Thanks, Arnold

Any ideas what could be going on? For what it's worth, here is the output from vdr, from startup, to displaying a channel, hitting Record, a Recording Started message, a Low disk space message(still have ~18min free), black screen and finally program exit.
