Do you by any chance mean to say that I can buy a budget card and still run vdr?
Yes, using softdevice, xine, xineliboutput or a dxr3. You should look at these plugins to see which one is more suitable to you.
That is also okay by me. Which card do you recommend?
It all depends on what you need, prefer, have available. Me, I'm using a skystar 2 and a dxr3. I'm also using the xine plugin for remote viewing (i.e. viewing tv on my laptop).
Also I wish to view pay channels with it.
That's not (officially) possible with a budget card.
Please also mention the price and from where I can get it.
Well, I bought both the skystar2 and the dxr3 on ebay. IIRC ~40€ for a new skystar2 (plus shipping) and 10€ for a second hand dxr3. Using softdevice or xine you can use vdr with just a budget card.
