Thanks Klaus! Installed 2.1.1 today and the basics at least seem to work OK 
here, no unreliability (no move => messed up channels.conf) seen in operation. 
No more vdr patching need for me!

The credits should include also Rotor plugin author (don't know his name) since 
the patch borrowed some code from there.

Cheers,
Seppo
