Changed that and now I'm not allowed to change channel. Yes. That binds the channel to DVB device #1. This is one of the problems with the current VDR channels.conf. You're not able to bind an entry in channels.conf to a specific DVB device (and thus to a specific CAM) without VDR losing the information about the fact that it is a crypted service. Doing so causes VDR to think that you can record multiple streams with that device even when it is busy recording/decrypting an encrypted service. It becomes a problem when you have to CAMs of the same type (Conax for example) and would like to have a different set of subscriptions on them. I, for example, have to pay all my subscriptions twice per month to have two key cards with similar set of services. > Anyone know if this feature to record two channels on same transponder > will be implemented soon or is it technical impossible with the Conax > CAM? There was a patch long time ago but it wasn't very reliable. I tried it a couple of times and my Conax CAM 4.00e seemed to be able to record some three or four channels at the same time. -- Heikki M
