Hello,

I just upgraded from vdr 1.4.7 to vdr 1.6.0 (from the e-tobi.net experimental 
repository). That has changed the order in which devices are selected for 
recording significantly. Now, the only card with the CAM is selected first when 
recording non-encrypted channels, preventing later timers from recording 
encrypted channels.

This is my hardware setup:
  DVB1: full-featured card (Hauppauge WinTV DVB-C rev 2.X)
  DVB2: budget card with CI and CAM (TerraTec Cinergy 1200 DVB-C)
  DVB3: budget card (TerraTec Cinergy 1200 DVB-C)

As a test, I started tree recordings on non-encrypted channels, one after the 
other. With vdr 1.4.7, these recordings use DVB3, DVB1, and DVB2, sparing the 
card with the CAM as long as possible. With vdr 1.6.0, the recordings use DVB2 
(!), DVB3, and DVB1, but using the the card with the CAM first. So one 
recording of a non-encrypted channels blocks all encrypted channels.

I'm running a pretty standard Debian etch system with kernel 2.6.18-6-686. The 
root of the vdr 1.6.0 system started as a mere copy of the vdr 1.4.7 system's 
root, so there shouldn't be too many differences.

Is it a problem with my setup or a problem in vdr 1.6.0? What should I do have 
vdr 'save the CAM for last'?

Thanks in advance,
Malte
