If you want VDR to be able to switch to a certain channel on a card that
currently has a cReceiver attached to it (which is receiving a different
channel, possibly on a different transponder) you need to give that
receiver a "priority" of 0. Any receiver with a priority higher than 0
will block switching channels on that card.
