Sharing folder of host with virtual box

I used a fresh set of host and an fresh installed ununtu 12.04 with an fresh virtualbox to share a directory of the host to the vboxinstance, when I ran into the problem that i got always an error when I tried to write (copy a file) to the host:
Error:
"Protocol error"
Probably most of you see my mistake in a second.... it took me some time to find it myself.

Reason:
Ever tried to create a file with an ":" in windows? It is not allowed and exactly that is told by the errormessage.

Solution:
Dont try to copy something with a filename which is not allowed by the hostfilesystem. Rename it to something allowed.

Doh!

That was not supported on older kernel version, but is now supported on current versions. Great? nope. The system/tvheadend gets unstable if two tuner are enabled running for weeks. After disabling one tuner, tvheadend runs reliable for months. List of unencrypted streams Example stream info tv channel Surround sound ...
