aaaah! that's where I got it wrong here - everything except the frontend.
I see another patch coming up... and from other places I gather that
it would not be easy to get at a modules.conf that handles both sides,
right?

hmmmpfff, so the saa7146 is not a frontend? Ouch. Effectivly I have
to test all? Ooops. The ves1x93 did it, or so it seems, because...

Yes. I did just a test recording. Now there is just one problem left:
the 'szap' command does not have a '-c' flag anymore which used to
be there in the old dvb modules 'szap' version. That breaks my scripts
and at the moment I do not know how to access the second card - which
is pointed to another satellite (ye know, the usual astra/hotbird dual).
You do accept patches, right? ;-)
