Looks like this is OK, see below.

So your primary device is the full featured nexus, isn't it?

[serge pecher] yes it is.

A FF device is not able to decode a H.264 stream or when it
decodes the H.264 stream according to MPEG2, it won't find any
pictures, respectively. So you'll get a black screen. For H.264
playback, you'll need a software device like vdr-xine as primary
device.

[serge pecher] Ok, but is it able to decode the stream coming from the
budget card when tuned on a SD channel (dvb-s) ?
I intend in a next phase to use an other machine with a vdr-xine to decode
the HD streams.

This one looks OK: DVB-S2 channels are tuned on VDR device 2 (=
/dev/dvb/adapter1; frontend 1 = /dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0).

This one looks OK, too, tuning to the same transponder.

This one looks OK too. DVB-S channels shall be tuned on DVB-S
capable devices only, and as a last resort, on DVB-S2 devices.
But it looks like channel 1 is on ASTRA and therefore you'll get
a tuning timeout on device 1 (= /dev/dvb/adapter0; frontend 0 =
/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0) as it is connected to HOTBIRD.

VDR currently assumes that all DVB-S(2) devices are able to
deliver all DVB-S(2) channels (actually, it's a bit more
complex). You'll need a special channel setup to bind channels to
certain devices.

[serge pecher] I presume that this is what I have to do, because I would
like to look at the ASTRA channels with the DVB-S2 device.
How can I achieve that ?

What do you mean with "device 1"? VDR's "device 1" is your nexus
and /dev/dvb/adapter1 is your S2-3200.

[serge pecher] I mean scan -a 1 (so it scans /dev/dvb/adapter1, what I
wrongly called device 1). I did modify with a patch found on the net the
scan tool for dvb-s2 support.

What do you mean with "scan"? Tools like szap use DiSEqC
implicitly, so maybe you've to enable DiSEqC in VDR too.
[serge pecher] I already tried that without succes, but I will try one more
time.
[serge pecher] 
Thanks

Bye.
