I'm also using this solution on one of my vdr clients, but of course there is one limitation: you can only playback MPEG2 recordings, no MPEG4 nor HD.

Why do you need a DVB-C card? You can use the FF DVB-S card for playback (output) only: " -Pdvbsddevice --outputonly "

Hi, dont kill me please..............
I'm using a 4 Tuner Cine 2 DVB S2 setup for recording TV programs. For playback I was using a DVB-C FF Card, so this was not being used to record as there were no Cable channel entries defined and no cable attached to it. Worked perfectly, but now the DVB C card has broken.
So I need a replacement. But I have multiple FF DVB-S cards laid around here not in use. As the dvbttpci driver is only used for this one card, wouldn't it be possible to patch the driver so that it reports the DVB-S card as a DVB-C card? Maybe even by an optional parameter?
That way I wouldn't need to buy a new DVB-C card.
Stupid idea or not?

OK, I've never heard about this switch. The solution I was using was suggested some time ago by an article in the c't. Due to the Bandwidth of the older FF cards not being enough for simultaneous recording and playback of some transponders.
I'll read up on it and give it a try thanks.
