No, VDR does assume that all channels are available on all cards of the same type (DVB-S/T/C)... ...but you might make use of the CA-field in channels.conf to dedicate channels to one card (CA value 1-4 dedicates the channel to the corresponding card) but I don't know how VDR handles the diseqc.conf on the card that lacks a disecq-switch. If you want to save (some) money buy a third diseqc-switch for your third card instead of a multiswitch and you'll get all the benefits of a multi card system. /Richard
