Hi,
I recently added a third budget card to my VDR which contained 2 budgets pointing at Astra so far (using softdevice for decoding): ... During my first runs I had connected the third LNB to one of the budgets by just moving one sat cable to the new LNB. I could watch all channels from Astra and Hotbird O.K. The SkyStar2 was not connected so far.
Now adding the SkyStar2 card: ... This card is connected to a LNB pointing at Hotbird. dvbscan shows all the channels on the respecive cards just fine. I generated the channels.conf listing using dvbscan.
But from then on, I could either see the Astra channels or the Hotbird channels within VDR, never both sets at the same time. It appears as if only card #0 is active (the Activy card), no matter which LNB is connected to which budget card.
What am I missing? As far as I know there is no way (and no point) in telling VDR to use cards #0 and #1 for Astra and #2 for Hotbird. Is that a known problem between (certain versions of) budget/-ci and b2c2 cards / drivers?
What you're missing is "soucecaps" patch, it tells vdr which card can see which satellite.
There's patch for 1.3.39 which applies OK for 1.4.x too: http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2006-January/007356.html
