Exactly, and no matter what the log-level was.

I have no real knowledge of C++, but to me it looks like you have to be
right (of course ! )

The one time I had it running (for an hour or so) I had a long dtv_scan
session before starting vdr. I am near absolutely sure, that the
channel.conf-file I used with the DVB-c card came from this scan (and worked
before). I am pretty cluelessright now what to try next.

As I don't have time to play with this in the next days, my next response
will probably take some days. Right now I have put the DVB-s back into my
Multitainer to have a running setup (btw. did I mention already that VDR
(with all the patches) is the greatest thing I have seen since sliced bread
:) ?

I hope to try soon to put the -C card back in and run a dtv_scan again. I
will keep you posted what I find out by this.

Thank you very much,
