USING BUDGET CARDS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If your system only has budget DVB cards (i. e. cards that don't supply an
MPEG decoder and rely on the CPU to decode the MPEG stream), then loading
vdr-xine will supply VDR with a "software device" with a software MPEG decoder.
VDR will choose this device as output device by default.

Depending on your previous usage of VDR, it might well be that VDR has entered
remote learning mode and you may see an OSD which invites you to press keys.
Please see the VDR manual for more information.

Where VDR's configuration suits your receiving equipment, it is most likely
that VDR enters transfer mode and you'll see live TV in xine!
