All cards with an connector for an CI-Interface based on the same
layout bye Technotrend, so all cards are the same and use the same
software. If you would use it to decode Mpeg2 (DVD) you need al full
featured
card (NOT the budget-Versions e.g. WinTV Nova)

The older revision works at he moment a lot better then the new 2.1.

You can use RCU for VDR, and also an ir-receiver called "IR-Man" cause
VDR offer Lirc-support.
Take a look at http://www.lirc.org
