Hi,

my answers are based on vdr-xine -- just give it a try ;-)

yes.

no.

vdr-xine's file INSTALL says:

USING FULL FEATURED CARDS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If your system is equipped with a full featured card (i. e. a card that has
its own MPEG decoder), you'll see in xine nothing more than "NO SIGNAL".
This
is because VDR has chosen the hardware MPEG decoder over the software MPEG
decoder, so the output device is your full featured card. To get the
output to
xine, you'll have to go to VDR's OSD setup menu and choose the highest
device
available, which should be vdr-xine's software device.


vdr-xine's file MANUAL says:

Get primary device when xine connects: Yes ***** REQUIRES VDR >= 1.3.32
*****

This option is especially useful for owners of full featured DVB cards which
usually run the OSD on a full featured card (i. e. the full featured card is
the primary device).
With this option set to Yes, vdr-xine automatically makes itself the primary
device while xine is connected to it. In that way the OSD and live TV are
automatically available via vdr-xine without the need to manually switch the
primary device via remote control nor SVDRP interface.


Bye.
