I dug a little bit more today to figure out the cause of the problem.

And I belive that this method in device.c is causing it:

bool cDevice::ProvidesTransponder(const cChannel *Channel) const
{
  return false;
}

So this line:
"if  (cDevice::ActualDevice()->ProvidesTransponder(Channel)) {"
in vdr.c makes no sense at all.

Is this ment to be so or is the method ProvidesTransponder(const 
cChannel *Channel) still to be written?

Have a nice weekend.
