[vdr] Hollywood+ card working??

[Christian Balzer]

Hi Niko,

first of all: thanks for the fast answer.
second a dum question: where can I change the primary device? I found 
various discussions about the primary device but i didn't find anything 
about where to set this. In which configure file  is this done???
