Hi everyone,
I've been trying to setup a system that has budget cards and no FF cards at all. With one DVB card it works well enough but I can't get VDR to use the second card. Has anyone experience with this kind of setup? My DVB cards are Technotrend dvb-c budget v1.0 and terratec cinergy dvb-c 1200.
I think it might be a driver issue because zap doesn't seem to tune to both cards simultaneuously but both tune separately. The modules that I load are budget and budget_av. Any suggestions?

I have a similar setup that works fine with a FuSi Activy budget card and a Nova-s SE card (uses budget_ci although it has ni CI connectors and circuitry - duh). I believe your TT is very similar to the latter. Have you checked if the dvb stack recognizes the second card at all?

OK, I got it working now although I didn't actually do anything special. I just tested first with czap and both adapters seemed to tune simultaneously. Then I tested VDR and it worked also fine. I wonder what was the problem earlierly today.. Yesterday I switched to 2.6.14.3 kernel and made some modifications to its configuration, for example enabled the pre-emption so it might be that. I switched the kernel because the DVB driver in previous one didn't work very well with the Cinergy. I'm also a bit worried about electromagnetic interference (EMI) because the case that holds the hardware is wooden (selfmade) so it doesn't protect very much.. But anyway, thanks for response although I'm not sure what the dvb stack is.

The drivers. When loading them you should see in the syslog that the cards are recognized and used as device 0, 1, ...
