Hi all,
I want to renew my VDR box with a new PCI express DVB-S2 card. I just want to know if a multichannel decoding card is necessary for the multiple recordings ?
A very small number of DVB cards have this feature...
Regards,
Bernard.

Hi Bernard,
When I connect one dvb receiver to my vdr box, I can record all the channels that are transmitted on the same frequency. I live in the netherlands, so I can simulanously record Nederland 1,2,3 and all the public radio stations. No configuration is needed for this trick. All the recordings end up in separate files.
My DVB receiver is not even capable of filtering out one channel, so the PC gets the complete datastream, and then throws away the data that is not needed.

I however do not have experience with DVB-S, only DVB-T.
Best regards, Cedric
OK perfect,
So my conclusion is multichannel decoding cards are not necessary for simultaneous recording with VDR (on the same transponders).
Thanks.
Bernard.

Hi Bernard,
Indeed, I have 3 of these USB receivers, so I can record 3 transponders at the same time. So now me and my wive never have to argue what show has to be recorded :-)
Greets, Cedric
