[vdr] AW: Re: VDR and VCR

["Bläser, Lars" <LBlaeser@hofheim.de>]

what about this - dvbs (video-out)to wintv (analog video-in) and from wintv to beamer/tv
so you can swith with the wintv remote between vdr and vcr

or use a amplifier that handles video together with audio (DVD, VCR, VDR -> amplifier -> TV

or use a external switcher (audio/video) with remote, conrad-elektroversand (germany)
