Oh, I thought the budget card was the one with the CAM!?
Now that's a whole new aspect...

In this particular case I guess the recording really shouldn't
start on the primary card, because the osdteletext plugin isn't
a "real" recording process.

So how shall we distinguish between cReceivers that do actual
recordings and such that just receive, e.g., teletext data?
Or those that receive a radio channel for streaming it to
a remote client? Where's the limit?
