What if I add another board to my setup? I'm planning to buy a DVB-T (Hauppauge WinTV NOVA-t USB2) for terrestrial view. (http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/pages/products/data_novatusb2.html)
I guess vdr supports this: 1xDVB-S + 1xDVB-T, but how does it handle it?, two vdr instances? or one instance and special channels.conf?
It's handled natively by a single VDR instance.. each channels.conf line refers to the technology used.. e.g in my DVB-C and DVB-T system:
BBC ONE;BC27:595000:C34M64:C:6952:600:32=eng,602=eng:605:0:1701:61472:401:0
BBC ONE;BBC:754166:C34D34M16B8T2G32Y0:T:27500:600:601=eng,602=eng:0:0:4168:9018:4104:0
for the same channel, the first on cable, and the second on terrestrial - notice the 'T' and 'C' field..
Would I get VLC access to /dev/video*? when Terrestrial channel is selected?
Yes, provided the VDR 'head unit' is tuned to that channel (the data passes in 'transfer mode' from the DVB-T to the full-feature DVB-S
Note that it is perfectly possible to make a recording on the DVB-T card and watch a different channel.. or stream a DVB-T channel via streamdev, and record/watch a DVB-S channel :)
