Hi, I now a have a 4 Tuner Cine S2 setup that I want to run with 3 cables, I want to keep the fourth cable for a test VDR. Reading about this I only see how to do it together with the Dynamite Plugin, is that correct that I must use that Plugin to get it to work for VDR?
I am currently running a plain VDR setup on Ubuntu, with very few plugins and had no need for the Dynamite Plugin up till now.
You don't really need dynamite. If you want to omit the fourth tuner (in kernel count order), you can start vdr with the -D parameter (see vdr --help).
vdr -D0 -D1 -D2 <other parameters as usual>

Hi Lars,
OK I knew about this, but I thought that the Card/Tuners numbers could change from boot to boot. Are you saying that they will not change?
If it's one bridge with 4 tuners, I doubt their order will change.
You may want to read about "device bonding", where you split one cable on two tuners so they share polarisation and band, but may be tuned to different transponders.
But I'm a cable user, I don't know much about it, just that there are some people out there who use it successfully. :)
Regards, Lars.
Cheers Brian

Hi, thanks for the tips, unfotunately I ended up needing to keep using a FF Card for a short while.
So I followed the CT tip and added a TT C-2300 Cable FF card that is not connected to cable at all. That part seems to work really well.
Using the -D parameter in VDR I limited VDR to using the first 4 DVB Devices and this is what it gave me:
Aug 11 11:09:31 localhost vdr: [936] frontend 0/0 provides DVB-S,DVB-S2,DSS with QPSK ("STV090x Multistandard") Aug 11 11:09:31 localhost vdr: [936] frontend 1/0 provides DVB-C with QAM16,QAM32,QAM64,QAM128,QAM256 ("ST STV0297 DVB-C") Aug 11 11:09:31 localhost vdr: [936] frontend 2/0 provides DVB-S,DVB-S2,DSS with QPSK ("STV090x Multistandard") Aug 11 11:09:31 localhost vdr: [936] frontend 4/0 provides DVB-S,DVB-S2,DSS with QPSK ("STV090x Multistandard")
So tuners 1-3 of the Cine S2 and Duoflex are now in use. DBV device 1 provides nothing but MPEG output.
I guess I'll keep an eye on the DVB device ordering for a while to see how it goes.
