Ok, thank you Gavin.

Let me add some complexity and find out (before buying) more about it.

What if I add another board to my setup? I'm planning to buy a DVB-T
(Hauppauge WinTV NOVA-t USB2) for terrestrial view.
(http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/pages/products/data_novatusb2.html)

I guess vdr supports this: 1xDVB-S + 1xDVB-T, but how does
it handle it?, two vdr instances? or one instance and special
channels.conf?

Would I get VLC access to /dev/video*? when Terrestrial channel is
selected?

Anyone has this type of setup and is willing to share experience?


Thanks again,
