They looked into it, and say that the PID changes "exactly at the program change", also when only the language code is changed. They also tested it with 3 set-top-boxes, with no problems. So, if they are right, there's something wrong with vdr (although they called it a "feature" ;-) ). Any tips for debugging the problem (not sure if I have the time, at least until May, but maybe someone else?)? BTW, I may also have found another problem. I tried to disable the pid scan by setting the updatechannels to 1, as it seems to bypass the setpids. An hour after a boot (which was due to other reasons), the computer crashed (vdr start 20:23:17, last log message before crash at 21:23:46, the plugin EPGSearch: search timer update finished)). After reboot, channels.conf was filled with zeros (and timers.conf and epgsearch.conf were empty). It may have been due to other issues and can also be EPGsearch problem (although... should it be able to cause a crash?), but I won't be able to re-test it before the weekend. Timo
