Looks like VDR does an EPG scan. Just have a look into your syslog for a line like this (in english): Nov 14 00:06:31 video vdr[31630]: info: Beginne mit EPG-Scan You may also set EPG timeout to 0 to disable automatic EPG scans. You'll see a similar behaviour if you start an EPG scan manually. Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform. (FH) Reinhard Nissl mailto:rnissl@xxxxxx
