I have just managed to get an S2-6400 based vdr sytem up and running and am trying to work out how I can use the second tuner.

Currently I have a diseqc switch with two dishes connected to tuner 1, which works now I use the "-D 0" vdr option.

I did think that adding "0:" to the top of diseqc.conf file would force it to use the first tuner, but this does not work.

In any case, if I add another dish to tuner 2, how do I inform vdr what sources are available on it?

I get the impression that a plugin may be required, but I can't see anything suitable on the Wiki plugin page.

Any help would be appreciated.

Usually you connect the same source to the second tuner (using multiswitch) or in case nothing like that exist you could use channelbonding, using both tuner at the same cable with some additional hardware for a few dollar. Having different sattelites on different tuners is a bit unusual, but possibly you could configure that by using the ca value in the channels.conf - or checking the dynamite plugin which resently got added something like that. I believe there has been recently posted some basic plugin which could be adapted to what you want as well. (would need to search for it)
