@Klaus: I agree, there are already too much flags, so if there is
another solution for the time&trusted-channel it would be good. I just
thought that
to have the cmos clock set right every time vdr starts via a "no cost"
time source would make VDR closer to perfection an common use. Too much
flags are hard to handle for a user, who just wants a perfect video
solution.
To your suggestion with tune in and wait...: why wait an switch to the
last channel? If there is a recording set f.e. 5 min after bootup the
vdr stays on the trusted and for the recording it switches to the rec
channel.

@all: and why not implement the trusted channel switch an time get at
shutdown ? so nobody would be "harmed" or? The shutdown process would
take a few seconds longer; that's all. Solution ? 
Is it possible to check out if the time is received? Afterwards
shutdown...

Thanks for your audience, Martin
