Hi Arpi,

Klaus is using the Kfir board and has implemented a plugin for using it as 
valid recording device from inside vdr. AFAIk he is using it to record from a 
sky-box. The only other vendor that maybe in some time will support linux 
(not sure yet) is vidac with their vidac vmagic.( I have mailed them  a 
couple of weeks ago and they said they are talking about it currently). For 
the Kfir board Klaus  can sure say more about it.
