Hi,
Could anyone tell me if its possible to allocate channels to be played only through specific DVB devices
This would be useful in my system as I have a TT Premium DVB-S and a Skystar 2. The TT premium obviously can't handle HDTV so when I select a HDTV channel I would prefer it only to be handled by the Skystar card and not the TT premium.
Its rather like the 'sourcecaps' patch but channel based rather than satellite based.
TIA,
Morfsta

The problem with hdtv is afaik the mpeg2decoder of the tt-premium cards. So I think your can't do anything to get it work with a skysta and a tt-premium.

You can use the CA field in channels.conf to select the device required to "display" the channel. (as explained in 'man 5 vdr')

except for the fact that the CA information 0x0001-0x000f (which I think you are referring to) seems not to be honored neither for input nor for output (vdr 1.3.34) ...
btw, I have a similar issue regarding both, source and output display ...
cosider a setup with two cards, one FF one budget the FF connected to LNB A (Astra) the budget connected to a diseqc switch (LNB A/LNB B, Astra/Hotbird)
I'd like to view a channel on Hotbird .. but this seems not possible (black screen at best) recording is fine, if the budget card is selected as second card (preferred for recording)
slighly different setup, diseqc switch on FF, single LNB A on budget
viewing a Hotbird channel works like a charm, but recording breaks, as the recording is moved to the budget card, which can not receive Hotbird
adding CA entries seems not to change anything, I assumed that adding a 1 there will 'lock' the channel to the first card, but it seems to have no effect at all ...
thanks for any clarifications! Herbert
