But it is not a real solution. I mean I still want to see "channel not available" but only when it is really not available (it is currently encrypted). That would be the correct behaviour. Furthermore I am not sure what happens when a recording on such a channel starts and it is really encrypted. The current solution is safe because it doesn't tune to the channel if the CA value is set. However it has the drawback of not recording even if the channel might be FTA again (that's a real show stopper). So I propose that VDR should always tune to a channel that is requested, get the current CA value from the data stream (and not from the channels.conf) and then decide if the channel can be shown/recorded. Does that sound like a good solution? Any obvious drawbacks? Ondrej
