Multirec works fine for FTA, with encrypted channels it hangs after a while.
Updated to several Kernels/Drivers, wanted to debug it once more, but didn't
find any time yet. 

With "soft" endtime I meant the setting in the setup, which adds time to
each recording, I add 10 minutes, it handles back-to-back recordings
correct, it ignores this time when needed.
For some shows I have to add more time, which I add to "Time to record past
end of show". This time is always added to the recording. What I would like
to see, is that it gets ignored when there are no free tuners (causing a
collision for a show) and allow a back-to-back recording. Is there such an
option ? Would it be worth to be added as a feature (I will create a trac
ticket) ?
