Hi,
at the moment I use 2 satellites (Astra1 @ 19.2E, Hotbird @ 13.0E) with 3 budget cards and cables (2x Astra from a quad LNB, 1x Hotbird from a single) with the capabilities patch. In the future I may need to cut down the 3 to 2 cards / cables. I know I will need to replace the quad LNB by a quattro, or maybe both LNBs by two duals. The question is, how can I use a 3/2 multiswitch, and how will VDR know where the 13.0E programs are, or the 19.2E, respectively.
TIA!
Hm, i would do it this way: replace your single LNB with a dual LNB, and buy 2 disec-c switches. then link them together this way:
*----------* *-----------* *--------* | quad LNB |----------------| disec-c | | | | |- | switch |--------------| Card 1 | | |- *--------| 1 | | | | |-------|----* *-----------* *--------* *----------* | | | | *----------* | | *-----------* *--------* | dual LNB |-------* *---| disec-c | | | | | | switch |--------------| Card 2 | | |----------------| 2 | | | *----------* *-----------* *--------*
this way you can record with both cards both Sat-positions. To tell vdr which port of the switches is connected to which Sat-position you have to setup the file disec.conf Christoph
