If you have a full-featured card, you can connect a optical out to the pin 4 and pin 10 of the J2-Connector. Look at http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Jumper2 You can easily homebrew a optical SP/DIF-Out like decscribed in this scheme: http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Bild:J2_anschluss_schema.jpg If you're not familiar with a soldering-iron, you may also use a slot-bracket with SP/DIF from Asus. Maybe you can get one on ebay. Recent VDR-version work out of the box with these outputs, older ones require the AC3overDVB-patch. Regards, Roland
