There are 3 cards.
The primary cannot receive anything (because there's no dish).
Recordings are made with either the 2nd or 3rd card. Live viewing via
transfer mode.
How do you configure VDR's ca parameters in the channels.conf that it knows
that the primary card cannot receive anything ?
You might be able to tweak it by saying card 1 can only receive PW (ca=101)
and card 2 and 3 can only receive FTA (ca=0)).
That's where I thought about introducing a ca parameter identifying a card
that is capable of replay only.

Just my thoughts,
Christian.
