I had the exact same problem when all of the available channels were encrypted (Conax). VDR wouldn't start on a encrypted channel not being available before CAM has been initialized and CAM wasn't initialized before changing to an encrypted channel.. so a real chicken and egg. Of course there was ways to circumvent this but it was really annoying and I asked on this list if VDR vould be changed to initialize CAMs always on startup. Don't know if it's done. -- Heikki M
