i think it would be good if vdr would completely release the dvb while 
not doin any watching or recording, so that if i want it to record 
something in a couple hours i can just leave it on w/o it consuming all 
the power...
btw i also have an analogue receiver "behind" the dvb, which only works 
when the dvb does not use the lnb (of course, just another reason why i 
would like vdr to release the card)
