Hi list,

is there a way how to tell vdr to not use the primary FF-Card for reception, but only for MPEG2 decoding?

My setup is as follows:

• Siemens FF DVB-C card (ves1820). The reception qualitiy is more

than bad, but I need it for viewing (attempts to use softdevice or df_xine were not satisfying). That's why I added a

• Technisat CableStar (stv0297). With the same cable, I have every

channel without BER and UNC.

Is it possible to deactivate particular cards for reception in VDR?

If not, where should I start looking in the code?

As a quick hack you could insert

if (IsPrimaryDevice()) return false;

at the beginning of all cDvbDevice::Provides...() functions.

Thanks. It works :).

Patrick.
