If anyone finds this message inside the "newbie lost in space" thread, maybe 
someone can. Use "New Message" next time.

You don't know yet that VDR can do timeshifting with one card, do you? :-)) 
You can stream every channel that's available on any card, meaning you can 
even stream a different channel than you watch with only one FF card. The 
Nova just extends the possibilities.

Usually, mplayer (which should be available also for Macs) and xine work best.
