DVB-T, DVB-C, DVB-T. No commerical can do that (and will never, i assume). But they usualy have a clean "resource management" which i am missing at VDR. >anyway, and any reasonable multi-LNB system should use a >multiswitch. AFAIK there approx. 100 downloads of the LNBsharing patch for 1.3.x. As it is of very limited (actually no, as VDR already "locks" the LNB in a single card system) use for the SingleLNB guys i assume there are at least 50 users in that unlucky situation, to have only one wire, which can ONLY be solved with VDR, AFAIK. Affordable "Single-Wire-Solutions" are no solution - they will block many transponders. There is a list of the most dangerous things in the world, two i rember: "A softworker with a solder iron" and: "A software with a hardware patch". The second fits your suggestion to fix missing the resource managent with a mulit-switch ;-). And: On Motor dishes a mulit-switch will not help much. Too recently some asked if VDR is so clever that in a two card system DVB-S and DVB-T will chosse the transmission on the other system if the program is avaible on both... I assume that should be solved from the ground and not by separate "patches". Else it will be an endless story. Ooops, i forgot to mention the "CA"-resources... Rainer
