I would love it if I could assume that with an adapter with several frontends, only *one* of these frontends could be used at any given time, and that, if a DVB hardware provides several frontends that can be used simultaneously, these would appear as separate adapters with one frontend each. That would be a simple, straightforward setup. But apparently things aren't meant to be simple... :-( Klaus _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
