Well, I was in contact with Marco already and attached you'll
find a minimalistic change which reports "channel not available".
Now VDR should already be able to kick a low priority DVB-S
recording (or transfer thread) from a DVB-S2 device.

Still missing is to prefer DVB-S devices for DVB-S recordings so
that DVB-S2 devices remain available for DVB-S2 recordings of
same priority.

The patch is incremental to the original dvbs2 patch from
yesterday, i. e. you can simply apply it to your already patched VDR.

Bye.
