That's rather unlikely, as Microsoft's digital TV architecture only
supports "budget" cards which deliver a raw MPEG-2 transport stream. When
asked about what they call "cards with a set-top-box decoder on it", the
answer was: "We don't support that". Now which company would be foolish
enough to produce a card that wasn't supported by Microsoft Windows...?

Indeed, if VDR only supports obsolete hardware, it will soon itself become
obsolete.
