[vdr] adding a budget card to my VDR
Hello, I have a couple of questions about my future upgrading. My VDR is running fine with a single Nexus-S for a couple of years. Beside the VDR box I have another sat receiver, and I'm thinking about integrating it in my VDR box via a budget (skystar2?) card. My goal is: 1. - to have the advantage of 2 cards (concurent recording and live tv from different TP-s). Is it possible, for example to record a channel with the nexus and watch live tv with the budget on the nexus' tv output? 2. - to use my two motorized (Diseqc 1.2) dishes - is it possible to configure in diseqc.conf 2 independent dishes for the 2 cards? 3. - to avoid using X - I prefer a solid and stable system, no xinelib, softdevice, etc. (This is my biggest problem with the HDTV side of the VDR: I don't like software decoding. As FF-HDTV card will not exist in the near future, I'll continue to watch SDTV and that's fine for me at the moment.) I ask for suggestions to my future FF + budget system.

I don't think you can stream output from other devices thru the nexus tv-out but I am not 100% sure. Regardless, why not just use your budget card for dedicated recording and nexus for live tv? That would eliminate the problem altogether. I also just inquired about diseqc.conf supporting multiple dvb devices and diseqc switches. I'll be using multiple cards soon and each will have it's own switch and own diseqc requirements but at present it doesn't appear VDR diseqc.conf supports this. I haven't heard any comments back on it so that's all I can tell you at this time. The good news is that I don't think adding such support would be much of a problem. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Hi all, > I don't think you can stream output from other devices thru the nexus > tv-out but I am not 100% sure. Hm... I'm using a DVB-S FF card as TV-out and two budget DVB-T cards as the input. I do not even have a sat dish. My FF does ONLY do TV-out.

My FF does ONLY do TV-out. So the answer appears to be yes then. Thanks for clearing that up. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Thanks for clearing that up. Great! This means, that I can go on with my budget-upgrade, the only issue will be with the diseqc.conf http://www.tigercomp.ro/~ifuley/ -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
