No bothering with sql databases & dependency, no altering the real channel numbers, no real pain that I can think of. For example, say you have 3 different sources using the same channel number: channel 100, dvb-s channel 100, dvb-t channel 100, dvb-c You tune channel 100 from your remote, it tunes 100 dvb-s. Press 100 again and it tunes 100 dvb-t. And again, 100 dvb-c. And again, loop back to 100 dvb-s. Also, instead of having to enter the channel number to cycle through them, maybe just use different keys (skip +/-, ffw/rew, some other keys) to cycle. If there's only one of that channel number, the cycle keys don't do anything. I like this idea far better than adding an sql dependency to VDR and I see no reason why the above would be difficult to implement or use. If I'm missing something, please let me know. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
