[vdr] Re: What about an passive mode of VDR?

[Thorsten Wöll <thorsten.woell@dieterwoell.de>]

So thats what i meant...
i do not want to make anything complicated.
the question just was if it is possible to feed the lnb by an external
power supply
to avoid a high load on f-connector; if the dvbs card has to feed, it
will generate much heat
as i understand; external power supply might be useful(in my case
provided by analog receiver) maybe there are power supplys for this
usage?
