<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have 2x DVB-C cards with Alphacrypt
multi-cams. A TT-1500-C budget card and a TT-2300-C FF card and run
vdr-xine.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When recording one channel and attempting to watch
another in the same transport stream, or trying to switch to another transport
stream (and hence card) I get "channel not available" messages. After
switching back and forth to other transport streams, usually I can overcome this
problem. But occasionally I it won't play any channels in one specific
transport stream or another.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What's the best way to diagnose this? How do
I enable debugging to see more info than is displayed in messages:</FONT></DIV>
