Oh, I thought the budget card was the one with the CAM!?

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? Klaus
