You can use this card only as a additional card; eg. for timeshifted
recording.

Just to clarify:

You can not use only one low-budget card for the linux DVB VDR.
You need at least one card with MPEG decoder and TV out.
example: WINTV Nova
This card only has the SAT- F connector, no TV out, no Audio out.

>2.13 Q: Do I need the DVB0 networkinterface ?

>A: No .. you need the network interface only if you need data services
>like Internet via the Sky (Europeonline)

Does Europeonline work in linux?
