On a single card system it doesn't really make much sense to have shorter times - after all, you wouldn't even be able to watch a full length movie. Besides, if you want to start an EPG scan you can select "Scan" from the Setup/EPG menu at any time. > As you may se below, > "Starting EPG scan" starts at channel 0 (zero?

Well, since there is a patch involved that may well interfere with all this I'd say you should test without that patch first and see if it happens there, too. > 09:09:08 [8593]: info: Channel locked by LNB!

Does the problem also occur _without_ that patch (plain vanilla VDR)? Klaus
