[vdr] Re: LNB sharing in 1.1.x ?

Yes, I think you started it..

IMHO this seems to be a proper solution, but since I am no
specialist, there maybe something not taken into account.

Other opinions ?

Hey, I am not the only one who gave up on integrating the old patch ;)

But I think the LNB-sharing stuff is already on Klaus' todo list (
although with low priority... )
