Why?

Hey, great!! (Over read that...going to that EGP scan feature ASAP)

It's a real nice useful feature for all "single lnb"-guys ;-)
(There seems to be a lot around)



But there seems to be one tiny problem left:

When i "zap" VOX,SAT1,DWtv
DWtv is dead (and VDR sometimes restarts)

When i "switch" "ARD,DWtv" 
DWtv is ok.
Now i can switch/zap betweeen DWtv sat.1 without a probelm.
Too i can switch to VOX and directly back to DWtv.

Only if "Sat1" is "between" DWtv fails.

funny, or?

(zap: using up/down-Key, switch;: Entering channels numbers 1=ARD, 33=VOX
