It usually happened with subtitles plugin, which tuned into a wrong device/channel, and there was no subtitles in the recording. I reported it into the mailing list long time ago but got no answer. If you looked at the syslog you could see 2 adjacent channel switches, first of which to the correct channel, the second to the "wrong" (as far as the subtitles plugin was concerned). I thought this was fixed (or cured away) also a long time ago, but if it is still there I'd debug the device-receiver logic, i.e. what happens if 2 threads does a simulaneous GetDevice() -> Addreceiver(): - GetDevice (thread 1 / frequency a) - GetDevice (thread 2 / frequency b) - AddReceiver (thread 1) - AddReceiver (thread 2) If both GetDevice() think the same device is free, I guess it could happen (if there is no double checks after the receiver has been added, that the frequency has not changed). But, if you are using an old VDR (<1.3 or <1.3.6 or <1.3.12 (I can't remember when the symptom disappeared)) you might first upgrade to a newer one to see if it helps. Teemu
