I must admit, I didn't have a look at the source code so far, but from what I recall, I don't think that it is that easy. I think, a simple check will only make VDR tell you that the channel in question cannot be received. I've experienced myself that VDR used the DVB-S2 card for a DVB-S recording and then endlessly tried to switch to a DVB-S2 channel using the DVB-S card -- obviously without success. VDR's device selection logic is already quite complex. It has to deal with FF cards which have so far been used to watch the DVB-S channels, cards which provide CI interfaces and simple receiver cards. Moreover it now would have to deal with cards capable of doing DVB-S2, with or without CI interface respectively. As I'm only distributing the DVB-S2 part which Marco Schlüßler provided several months ago, I've contacted him and asked him for an update. Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform.
