This did not happen now. Why not? Because that "shifting" is not active (see cDevice::CanShift()). It's way too complex, so I'm thinking of completey dropping that code, anyway. As to why the recording started on the primary device, while there were budget cards free at the time, I guess you'll need to do some debugging in cDvbDevice::ProvidesChannel(). Here on my system recordings only use the primary device if all others are already in use. Klaus
