Need to make another VDR-box, just for DVB-T
I have one NEXUS-T FF board where the tuner is very bad.
I want to use that as outputcard and then two NOVA-T's as tuners.
How do I disable the use of NEXUS as tuner ?

I used this method to disable the horrible tuner on a Fujitsu-Siemens FF 
dvb-c card.

This thread also contains some methods to do it.

I haven't experienced any major problems with the
if (IsPrimaryDevice())
   return false;
trick, but I have kept the ff-card still plugged in, since there have 
been reports that they tend to crash without signal.
With one budget card there were a few recordings that had stopped after 
5-6min of recording from the YLE-mux, but I did not have time to debug 
the cause. I haven't seen that problem again after I added a second 
budget card to the system (or at least there haven't been any reports, 
that's my parents' vdr-box :) )

[vdr] No program information from disabled timers?

2006-10-08 Thread Harri Kukkonen
I noticed that in the timer menu, you cannot get information with the 
blue key about the program the timer is set to record, if the timer is 
disabled. Is there a reason that this nice feature works only for 
enabled timers or is this a bug?


I tested with the gentoo-packaged 1.4.3 with aio+subtitles and vanilla 
1.4.3, same behavior on both.

The blue key in the Timers menu shows the information of the
event the timer will record. If the timer is disabled, it won't
record anything, hence there is no information.

Well then I have a feature request :)

Could the event information be shown to all timers? I don't really see 
the point in limiting the information just to enabled timers, unless it 
is necessary or easier from a technical standpoint. After all, you can 
after all see easily which timers are enabled and seeing the event 
information on every timer just would seem more consistent to me.
