And once it takes more than 15 minutes, it's pretty much the same difference if it's two or six or ten hours... I'm not going to compile it again until I'm forced to. I ran 2.6.15 from 2006 until last October! --mika ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

I guessed the simplest way to fix this was to use VDR's channel editor to 'edit' and save my DVB-T channels, without modifying anything, and seeing what change was introduced in channels.conf - ITV1:64200:B8C23D12G32M64:T:0:520=2:521=eng@3,522=eng@3:0;523=eng:0:8271:9018:8207:0 + ITV1:64200:B8C23D12G32M64S0T8Y0:T:0:520=2:521=eng@3,522=eng@3:0;523=eng:0:8271:9018:8207:0 It is trivial for me to reproduce this for all my channels. However, I presume this means that scan / w_scan etc. all need to be updated to generate the new channels.conf format for VDR 1.7.23 and newer? I'm getting the same here. Will look into it. Sorry, that was a premature assessment. For testing I edited one of my DVB-T channel entries and changed it from B8C34D34G4M16S0T8Y0 to B8C34D34G4M16S, which was wrong - I should have stripped the 'S' as well. After correctly changing it to B8C34D34G4M16 the error did not occur any more: Apr 1 11:57:32 vdr2 vdr: [6861] switching to channel 21 Apr 1 11:57:52 vdr2 vdr: [6885] changing transponder data of channel 21 from 56200:B8C34D34G4M16:T to 56200:B8C34D34G4M16S0T8Y0:T Apr 1 11:57:53 vdr2 vdr: [6861] retuning due to modification of channel 21 Apr 1 11:57:53 vdr2 vdr: [6861] switching to channel 21 So I'm afraid I don't know why you are getting this error.
