Hi.
I'm looking at getting the following from dvbshop.net
Technotrend Remotecontrol SET Technotrend Technotrend "Dual Tuner" Package (Technotrend Premium S2300 (Rev 2.3) "modded") RGB/S-Video J2 Extension for Technotrend Premium (for component/RGB-out)
Has anyone got any advice on getting this working with VDR?
I've been using VDR with budget cards for a few years with vdr-xine. This will be my first FF with an MPEG decoder - any problems/advice on the quality of the RGB-out?
Also, will this card support HD ok???

That card works fine, in fact its recommended by many vdr users. Here is the scoop.
The card does NOT do HDTV decoding in hardware. It will do it in software assuming the modulation is QPSK, (it does NOT support 8PSK commonly used for HDTV at least here) The card is used like a budget card if you are doing HDTV.
The "j2" mod on that board is done incorrectly. It does NOT have the proper circuitry to work "out of the box", (It does NOT do component, only RGB). It is NOT terminated properly. It does post a risk of damaging the card if things are incorrectly wired. Correctly wired and terminated the RGB out works excellent.
Any other questions?
