Hi and thank you Klaus
        
        With this change I am recording now three encrypted channels
        from Canal+ Local subsciption and watch some else in the same
        time. It did take some time system to stabilize, when I started
        these recordings almost in the same time, vdr did restart two
        times befor to get stabilized. With two recordings in the same
        time works steady.
        When I now change channel, I get many messages like this:
