Yes, exactly :-)

Guess I wasn't really up2date there (shame on me).

But the question if you absolutely need full feature/dxr3 is not answered...

Thing is: I wonder why this is like this.
AFAIK (correct me where I'm wrong) the DVB-Card get's a stream from the satellite, and a fully featured card can decode this stream and put it out to something a TV can understand - this a thing implemented on the hardware. Both types of cards (full/cheapo) are able to manipulate this stream (OSD and stuff) and dump it onto the harddisk, and VDR controls this.


How exactly do all these hardware/software components play together then?

Thomas
