Hi Paul, is it possible that another gnome-dvb-daemon instance was already running at that time? If that's the case, you should kill it first. Disabling the EPG scanner is definitely a good a idea to reduce the noise. After that try scheduling a recording and see what's happening. If everything works, the file size of the recording should increase continuously. If not, the log may give some hints.
