I wonder whether these boxes allow you to add more DVB cards (my VDR contains
three of them) plus other cards, like MPEG encoders (my VDR connects another

Well, if you can suggest an other full featured DVB-S card with TV out,
better (or at least equal) OSD capabilities and the ability to connect
a CAM, and which is also supported by the LinuxDVB driver, just let me know ;-)
