Oddly I missed seeing that someone replied to my original email, sorry about that. Hmmm I'll try both of these tonight and report back. It sounds like the "Y" key might be enough to do it, I'll have to map that to my remote. I'd still rather not have that be the default action. Actually I think the only time I'd like to use the TV card in the slave machine is when I'm recording on the master. I'd also rather not record with if at all possible. Thanks for any help! Paul
