No.. just for time shifting or is it also possible to watch
to a program and record another on the same time?

ARM crashes :  I've seen many probs during the time
i've been subscribed to this group. Is the hardware not
stable?

If you don't need it for analog external video-devices or
up-to-4-pictures in KVDR (/dev/v4l/videoX gets it's picture from the
MPEG-decoder) it's expensive to use full-featured cards and you can have
ARM-crashes (the low-budgets do not have ARM nor Firmware!).

So it's only a question of CAMs as I didn't test the new Nova with CI.

Any experiences about that?
