Does this mean that if one now starts up a new VDR installation from scratch without any channels.conf whatsoever, VDR will find some channels to show on its own? How long does it take for it to find some channels, and how does that look like from the user POV? (I suppose I could just try it out myself, but I'm too lazy to do that ATM.) When I started using VDR sometime in the 1.3.x series, I don't think that happened automatically at all, I had to use dvb-apps' scan to generate a channels.conf. This is on DVB-C, and I don't think I've ever used an AutoPID patch. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
