Hi, I recently added a third budget card to my VDR which contained 2 budgets pointing at Astra so far (using softdevice for decoding): 00:0a.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7146 (rev 01) 00:0f.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7146 (rev 01) 00:0a.0 Class 0480: 1131:7146 (rev 01) 00:0f.0 Class 0480: 1131:7146 (rev 01) /var/log/messages says DVB: registering new adapter (Fujitsu Siemens Activy Budget-S PCI (rev GR/grundig frontend)). DVB: registering new adapter (TT-Budget/WinTV-NOVA-CI PCI). During my first runs I had connected the third LNB to one of the budgets by just moving one sat cable to the new LNB. I could watch all channels from Astra and Hotbird O.K. The SkyStar2 was not connected so far. Now adding the SkyStar2 card: 00:0b.0 Class 0280: 13d0:2103 (rev 01) 00:0b.0 Network controller: Techsan Electronics Co Ltd B2C2 FlexCopII DVB chip / Technisat SkyStar2 DVB card (rev 01) DVB: registering new adapter (FlexCop Digital TV device). This card is connected to a LNB pointing at Hotbird. dvbscan shows all the channels on the respecive cards just fine. I generated the channels.conf listing using dvbscan. But from then on, I could either see the Astra channels or the Hotbird channels within VDR, never both sets at the same time. It appears as if only card #0 is active (the Activy card), no matter which LNB is connected to which budget card. What am I missing? As far as I know there is no way (and no point) in telling VDR to use cards #0 and #1 for Astra and #2 for Hotbird. Is that a known problem between (certain versions of) budget/-ci and b2c2 cards / drivers?
