[linux-dvb] timeshift and more

[Arno Esser <arno.esser@gmx.de>]

Hi,

since a few days I'm the proud owner of 2 DVB cards. One of the biggest 
advantages of this configuration for me is the possibility to perform 
timeshift. If I set up a timer, then the second card is used to record 
the program and I can start replaying when ever I want. If I start 
recording manually, then on my system the first card is used to record 
the data. Since only the first card can be used to replay my movie I 
have to wait until the recording has been finished.

So my question is: Is there a possibility to start a recording 
--manually-- on the second card (if one is present in the system and is 
not used at the moment)?  Given this opportunity would enable a behavior 
commercial digital recorders provide through a PAUSE-Key (or similar).

Another (not so important) feature that I would appreciate very much 
somewhere in the future is a 'mute'-Key. Since I most often use 
TV-speaker and my Hifi-system for the audio output I have to handle a 
complete set of RCs in case the telefon rings or the neighbour 
complains.BTW is is possible to control the output volume of the DVB 
card depending on the channel and/or source that is used for replaying. 
PRO7 is loud, DVD is very silent ... An adjustment possibility somewhere 
in the configuration files would be very fine. I know that I can do all 
this manually, but I'm very eager to reduce the total number of remote 
controls.

Arno
