Lars,

Thanks for the reply.

Output of ls -la /dev/dvb/adapter0:

As you can see there is a demux1 and dvr1 but all hung off adapter0
which is presumably the problem.

I actually want to use both the DVB-S2 and the DVB-T frontends, though
not concurrently.

Happy to work with you on developing the required patch.

If as you suggest that this is actually a VDR problem then I'll also
post this reply in the VDR mailing list and we can take it from there.

Regards,

Mark.

  vdr doesn't know anything about hybrid cards where you can access only
one frontend at the same time.
  On startup vdr opens all frontends, so when accessing the second one
this is blocked.

  Since I don't know this card exactly, what devices does it create? Is
there also a demux[01] and dvr[01] or just a
demux0 and dvr0? Which frontend do you want to use? For now you have to
choose one and start vdr with the "-D" parameter to tell it which to
use.
  If there's no demux1 and dvr1 and you want to use frontend1 you'll
have the next problem since vdr asumes that every frontend has its own
demux/dvr. I wrote a patch, so vdr uses demux0 with frontend1.

  http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2011-November/025411.html

  Soon I will have some DVB-C/T hybrid device so I will try to extend
the patch so both frontends can be used (not at the same time of
course).

  It would be nice if you can send me the output of "ls -la
/dev/dvb/adapter0/*".

  I don't know exactly what the dvb/v4l spec is saying about hybrid
devices and how they should expose their capabilities but it seems to me
there's some discussion about this topic from time to time.

  After all this is a problem at application level, not driver level. If
I'm wrong please correct me.
  And maybe you want to read the vdr mailing list...

Regards,
Lars.
