Robert,
yes, you did undertand me right I am interested to have both cards in my system (although I have only one dish -- balcony space restriction).
This card was purchased mainly because Twinhan stated that it can drive USALS STAB HH motor. I was playing with Nexus-s for a while and didn't find how to drive motor in sence of USALS (in windows I could drive motor East/West Steps/Run Diseqc 1.2).
Advantage USALS is that I can enter my coordinates and then say "Hey turn dish to 100W" and wait few seconds when dish will be pointed to satellite I am interested in.
I am quite new to vdr and do not know many things yet but I am learn fast. So, as I understood to be able watch a program on Budget card on the computer screen I will need a plugin like vdr-xine. Is my understanding correct?
NOTE: plugin looks nice but I would modify it looks a little different if it possible. I might happen that I will talk to developer and provide my help to him.
Thanks,
Andy

I figured out that I have to load the bttv module with these options: i2c_hw=1 card=0x71
On Fedora, you might want to try to modprobe bttv like this: modprobe bttv i2c_hw=1 card=0x71
could you give me some guide lines what you did to make this card work with vdr? We can communicate directly over email if you would prefer.
Since the VP1020 is the only DVB card in the system, I use vdr-xine as an output device. This works quite well, as far as I can tell (I don't use this system on an everyday basis).
Since you have mentioned a Nexus, I don't think you need that. You want to use both the TwinHan and the Nexus at the same time, don't you?
In this case, you would only need to load the DVB driver (bttv) in a way that doesn't crash the system. VDR will automatically use all available DVB devices.
