The "funny" thing is that you can buy a full av7110 based set top box
for 150 Euro (sometimes cheaper), but the DVB-S/C cards are still
sold for 299 Euro here at Saturn. I would be happy if VDR were designed
to run on hardware which is cheaper and has better Linux developer support
by the vendors/manufacturers. While I think we should try to make the
best out of the av7110 cards, IMHO you should stop endorsing them.
