I have two FF cards, too.

I need this feature, too.
Is it possible to enhance VDR, so it can work with more than one
"primary device"?
I know, that currently there can be only _one_ primary device, but why
not using the other FF cards in the same way like the primary?
I would like this scenario:
One VDR-instance uses all DVB-cards in the system and uses card#1 and
remote-control of card#1 for OSD#1 and uses card#2 and remote-control
of card#2 for OSD#2 and so on...
Could it be possible to implement that?
With that feature VDR is able to serve more than one television. It
would be usable for a multiuser environment!

Stephan.
