Hello Yesterday i set EGP timeout to 1 in the hope the LNBsharing patch will prevent the usual deadlocks. It does not need to do anything. It happens too that the box ran that hour without any recordings instead of being powered off as usual, so EPG scan could really start. (Hm, why 1h as minimum?) As you may se below, "Starting EPG scan" starts at channel 0 (zero? What is channel 0?), switches to channel 1, that's Ok... got new transponders/programs, that's OK. (so many new to day?) then VDR switches to channel 279! Why 279 and not 2? What's that? The next timer event would be a timer to record channel 27 at 10:52 but the switch attempt occurs at 10:42:18 and obviuosly leads VDR into a deep endless loop. channel 279 is OLD GOLD;PREMIERE:11720:hC34:S19.2E:27500:0:336=deu:0:1801,1722,1702:167:133:3:0 Never ever tuned to 279 (encrypted) channel, no timer except the one in approx 10 minutes at channel 27 ( an ASCII buffer Bug? *27*9?) 09:09:08 [8593]: info: Channel locked by LNB!
