Master in my assumption should be the device where the liveview signal comes from unless there is a recording in which case the device tuned to the recording transponder should be Master. In the first case the slave cannot steal the tuning parameters to prevent breaking liveview whereas in the second the liveview slave cannot interefere with the ongoing recording. Concerning my issue the ongoing search for transponders on the non-liveview device seems to break with the liveview device which should not happen. Yet in case of recordings i am bit unsure what interferes with what. I am also still unsure if it is a driver or lnb sharing issue though the v/h issue in my former setup points to the first case at least for a certain kind. Do i conclude right, setting the bondedMasterFailed to false in the switch construct would be a dirty hack to workaround my bogus setup? Thank you Klaus for vdr and for your answer.
