Not enough information. Assuming channel 1 is a real channel for you, check your xine log and cam log also. Usually "Channel not available" seems to mean the cam can't decrypt the channel or the tuner is in use already (such as a timer is active on another channel). _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
