Yes, sorry, I mixed the terms...
your picture is exactly right.

Hehe, the power of my vdr-computer, to prevent the dvb from being
headached by lnb-power

If I ask "sec card" to tune the channel and display it over "prim
card" is the same like asking the "prim card" to tune and display. The
"sec card" behaves glitching as long as loop-through is connected,
independent of patch. Only if I disconnect the loop-cable the "sec
card" works well again, thus surely without ability of using
"prim card" to tune a channel while "sec card" records...

I hope my situation is clear now, if not I think we should use direct
mailing instead of annoying the others on the list ;)
