hello guys
yes i do think this is a good idea... as with different tuners they could be used for other lnbs like c -band and ku i could only use my s2/s card for services on a c and ku setup then tune and record from different types of services... then each tuner could live on a fixed satellite if you wanted

There is the isue whereone tunner might be connected to an LNB on a rotor and another to a fixed. Knowing how the tunner can tune wouldn't help then.

Hi,
I have an USB DVB-C card (Reddo dvb-c, actually a relabelled Tongshi box), which works very well with the current Linux driver excluding channels with QAM-256 modulation. Would it be easy to check FE_CAN_QAM_256 in vdr before trying to use a device to tune to a particular channel? In such a case I could deactivate FE_CAN_QAM_256 in the drivers. I am using VDR 1.7.9, if it makes a difference.
Checking the frontend capabilities is certainly the right thing to do, and I will see that this gets implemented.

Does the sourcecap patch not address this whole issue? Even if source cap or something similar is applied, how will VDR be able to tune to a 8psk turbo-fec type channel if v4l2 does not provide any support for it? It shouldn't be VDR's responsibility surely? unless 8psk turbo-fec becomes part of the new dvb-plugin archtitecture of future VDR.
