and if i have a third card. does vdr know which card can use diseqc and which not. is it possible to configure this?
The easiest way to have full support for multiple sat positions and multiple DVB cards is to use a multiswitch.
yes, but i want to save money. i need hotbird only for 1 or 2 channels and only very seldom. a multiswitch is very expensive and need powersupply.
No, VDR does assume that all channels are available on all cards of the same type (DVB-S/T/C)... ...but you might make use of the CA-field in channels.conf to dedicate channels to one card (CA value 1-4 dedicates the channel to the corresponding card) but I don't know how VDR handles the diseqc.conf on the card that lacks a disecq-switch.
If you want to save (some) money buy a third diseqc-switch for your third card instead of a multiswitch and you'll get all the benefits of a multi card system.
