I suggest you use a card with hardware MPEG encoder and the pvrinput plugin. This works perfectly with a Happauge HVR1900 USB card.

Hi Thomas,
I am one of the developers of the pvrinput plugin and made the changes to support the PVRUSB2. This is the first time somebody confirmed that it also works with their successor.
As far as I know you cannot use DVB-T and analogue both at the same time (shared hybrid device). I think vdr will always open the DVB device, so the analogue part would be not accessable. How did you solve it?

Hi Martin,
first of all thanks for your work ! I am using the HVR1900 which has a DVB-T and an analog part purely for the capturing from analog. I am using the pvrusb2 driver from kernel 2.6.29. This version has two configuration options: - pvrusb2 sysfs support (EXPERIMENTAL) - pvrusb2 ATSC/DVB support (EXPERIMENTAL)
I am disabling the ATSC/DVB support and I get a /dev/video[0,1,2] instead of /dev/dvb/adapter[0,1,2] You are right that I cannot switch easily between DVB-T and analog, but I do not have that requirement.
So actually I can confirm that pvrinput and pvrusb2 not only work with one adapter, but with three - and there seems to be no limit.
Regards Thomas
