Whenever something in the channel parameters changes that has an impact on receiving that channel, VDR just "retunes" that cannnel in order to do everything necessary to correctly receive the channel and have all attached receivers be newly set up in case of PID changes. It's just the simplest and most reliably way of doing this. Klaus
