I'm looking to buy a dual tuner card, most likely the WinTV Nova-T 500. My question is, as long as the card is supported in Linux will vdr treat it as two dvb-t devices? Don't buy this card if you want to use it in a permanent (i.e. vdr) setup where your computer is on 24/7. You will notice disconnects every now an then rendering the device rather useless... And yes this still happens with *any* kernel version (2.6.20 - 21.5) + even the experimental mercurial tree out there...

We have multiple T500's in multiple 'permanent' vdr installations that are running 24/7. We don't see disconnects under Kubuntu 7.04. The only area where I can say we have had some issues with the T500 is related to its ability to hold onto a signal in some situations. It seems more sensitive to transmission quality/strength than other cards or external usb DVB devices we have tested. But in our experience these have been relatively minor issues. All I can say is that is our experience. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
Re: [vdr] Dual Tuner Cards
Well now I'm just not sure, the shop was out of stock so I didn't get one in the end but some people seem to be having real issues with this card. Maybe I'll stick with my single tuner for a bit longer. Be nice if they'd do linux support for the Terratec 2400i dt, then I'd actually have use for my 1x PCIe slot :) Cheers, Alex ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Re: [vdr] Freeview Playback
Great. I can see that support for TVAnytime in the main codebase for vdr will happen very quickly - if at all. So i guess that mean either a patch or a plugin will be the best route to implement support for this.
