I ran a test with only encrypted channels in my channels.conf, and here's what happened: Aug 7 17:12:41 video vdr[31440]: VDR version 1.3.28 started [ ... usual loading messages ] Aug 7 17:12:52 video vdr[31440]: switching to channel 1 Aug 7 17:12:52 video vdr[31440]: info: Channel not available! Aug 7 17:12:54 video vdr[31440]: switching to channel 1 Aug 7 17:12:54 video vdr[31440]: info: Channel not available! Aug 7 17:12:57 video vdr[31440]: ERROR: Channel not available! Aug 7 17:12:57 video vdr[31449]: CAM: Irdeto .... Aug 7 17:13:10 video vdr[31440]: switching to channel 1 Aug 7 17:13:11 video vdr[31453]: transfer thread started (pid=31453, tid=147466) Aug 7 17:13:11 video vdr[31454]: receiver on device 3 thread started (pid=31454, tid=163851) Aug 7 17:13:11 video vdr[31455]: TS buffer on device 3 thread started (pid=31455, tid=180236) So all in all it took 30 seconds. You could test the following: change the line newSet.Wait((ciHandler && (time(NULL) - startTime < 20)) ? 100 : 1000); to newSet.Wait((ciHandler && (time(NULL) - startTime < 80)) ? 100 : 1000); (make the 20 an 80). Does this change anything? Klaus
