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? Versions: dvb-1.1.0_CVS20051019-17 (OpenSUSE 10.1) in kernel 2.6.16.13-4-default vdr-1.4.1 softdevice-0.3.1 w/ ffmpeg-0.4.9 / DirectFB-0.9.25.1 / DFB++-0.9.25 / linux-fusion-3.2 Any hint is appreciated! You ca edit the CA field using the onscreen editopr to specify a card or you can ise the SourceCaps patch. i use both on occasion. Mike
