But that's not possible with all DVB cards. IIRC Ralph recently wrote
that some cards can only handle one channel at a time.

I will try to rearrange things in VDR after version 1.0.0 so that
several "recorders" can attach to one DVB card, as long as they request
the same transponder. However, this will mean some pretty deep changes
so I'll first finish the final version 1.0.0.
