As far as trying vdr with clear DVB-S2 channels, unfortunately it is not possible in my case since I only have access to Hotbird, which I think has no clear DVB-S2 channels. As fas as changing encrypted flag, vpid, ppid and dpid, can you please give me an example, what I have to change in the following line: Next HD;SkyItalia:11996:vC23M5S1Z35:S13.0E:27500:10160+160:0;400=ita,401=eng:0:919,93B:11030:64511:6400:0 Finally, I have to mention that using multiproto (not multiproto plus) and modified szap, I can tune to Next HD and get a lock (of course I can not watch the channel, I just get the message from modified szap that it has lock). Modified szap does not work at all with multiproto plus. Moreover, using multiproto (not multiproto plus) and vdr-1.5.14 (with h264 patch) or vdr-1.5.12 (with dvb-s2 + h264 patch) I have exactly the same behaviour with vdr-1.7.0 and multiproto plus : channel not avaialble for all DVB-S2 channels.
