"Budget" stands for "Low Budget DVB Card" and mostly means the absence of a hardware decoder chip.
Commonly on newer hardware, for example the hardware MPEG2 decoder is missing, as it is too expensive and nowadays not really necessary any more. With a budget card, the decoding is done by software on the computer's CPU, e.g. VDR Software Decoder Plugin or xine.
For example, the relevant minimum system requirements for a Technotrend DVB-T Budget T1500 are:
- CPU Pentium at 733 MHz (for HDTV 2,4GHz or faster)
- 128 Mbyte RAM
- PCI/AGP-videocard with at least 32Mbyte RAM
