Happy new year!
I second that feedback from forums like vdr-portal.de would probably be more significant.
I have been using the old LNB-sharing patch for years and really appreciated when device bonding became part of vdr itself. I am still using the feature and find it is one of the cool things about vdr.
All the best,
Michael

Hi Derek,
I would like to know which magic switch behind a single cable receiving only one polarization/band allows feeding multiple tuners with independent signals. ;-)
And, no I am not using this feature and I guess most people subscribed to this list don't use it, too. But there are much more VDR users out there, so asking here may not be representative.
Best regards
Andreas
