Hi Angelus,

Firstly, thanks for your answer.

I have (of course) fed up the streamdevhosts.conf file. Else, I would 
not be able to watch the first channel. Server suspend is set to "always 
suspended", with the "client may suspend" field set to "yes". I have 
been thinking of this before, and tried to do "suspend server" from the 
client, but this didn't solve anything ...

I think this problem has to do with (as you say) the way newer vdr 
versions automatically update channels. If I have good rememberance, it 
is possible to set up vdr to not update the channels, I didn't have time 
to try this yet ...

Maybe sometime streamdev will have an option to sync channels 
automatically with the server ??

thanks again.

Bye,
Floof.
