i do have a slave backend

but as you know yourself, deleting all capture cards and adding them

this is a production system - i'm not using it for "testing" - i'm using
it for "watching" :-)

ok. that is good to know

it seems that if you get the channel list out of sync with what is being
broadcast, then the backend becomes unstable
as you know yourself, the channels that are broadcast on Astra 28.2E
change on an almost daily basis
anyway. i will do as you say
pity. i had more or less got my channel list sorted out
