It seems to work. this function finds a device which can provide a receiver without detach any receiver. (independent of the prio) bool needdetach = false; bool found = false; for (int i=0; (i < (cDevice::NumDevices()-1) && !found);i++){ device = cDevice::GetDevice(i); if(device->ProvidesChannel(channel,PRIOCHANGECHANNEL,&needdetach) && !needdetach){ //device can Provide Channel and no receiver has to detach found = true; }else{ device = NULL; } } if(device){ device->SwitchChannel(channel,false); device->AttachReceiver(receiver); } on the found device i can add myreceiver with Prio -2 additional I observe all myreceiver. If I want to add a new myreceiver to a device I will look at my local List, if I have already added a receiver to the transponder. If I found one I will add my receiver to the same device. But now I need to recognize if vdr has detached my receiver. So I have used void cMyReciver::Activate(bool On) to recognize if it will detach. The Problem is, that it will only be detached if vdr will shutdown. Patrick
