Hello The list!

I play with vdr since some months it's great and really gives motivations
to understand how it works and maybe one day, start developping little
plugins for it :)

Anyway i'm not still fully happy with my config ;) :
- 2 DVB-S cards : 1 FF Technotrend 1.6 + CI and one skystar2.
- 1 Dual LNB + mini disceq, with simple output multiplier (my
channels.conf only uses one LNB on this mini disceq, but disceq is
activated in VDR)
- 1 PCMCIA Module (Aston mediaguard Dual) with smartcard from canal+

It works fine now except that i still can't record a channel and seeing
another at the same time.
I have tryed many combinaisons with LNB Share and SoftCSA patch but with
no success.
So here are my questions :
-> Can VDR share one CI with Multiple DVB Cards ? (I have heard he can)
-> Is SoftCSA patch needed to make a multiple card system work ?
-> Is LNB Share patch needed as i have only one LNB output ?
-> Do you know a way to be sure that all the 2 cards are recognized by VDR
? (modules are loaded but i don't see LNBShare options in LNB Config)

Sorry if my question is redundant
Thanks
jb
