I have three DVB cards, distrbuted as follows 1) FF card connected to a Diseqc switch switching between S19.2E and S13.0E 2) budget card connected to LNB pointed at S28.2E/S28.5E 3) budget DVB-T card So would this config work: SourceCaps = 1 S19.2E S13.0E SourceCaps = 2 S28.2E S28.5E SourceCaps = 3 T Aside from the SourceCaps approach, wouldn't a more logical system for VDR be to modify the sources.conf so that you had to indicate which card(s) was/were used for each source, e.g. ... S10.0E S13.0E 1 S19.2E 1 S28.2E 2 S28.5E 2 T 3 or in Carsten's case S13.0 3 S19.2 1,2 That would then allow the CA field in channels.conf to be used correctly, since the assignment between the source and the cards available for that source would be defined in sources.conf. It would also mean that changing the allocation of channels to particular cards (e.g. after adding new cards that then changes the order in which cards are detected) would be a lot simpler than at present (where you have to edit every single channel in channels.conf).
