Hi Thorsten, as Harald Faber pointed out the problem with losses on time is probably a known problem that has already been solved in a recent update - I'll give it a try. The problems with Junior seemed to happen at random times - as I don't have any problems with Fritz I don't think it is a heat problem - I will check if there are still problems once I've installed the update.
