[vdr] Re: DXR3, VDR and the system requirements

["Chris Wuetherich" <chriswy@otenet.gr>]

Hello Niko,

I'm running VDR on a 180MHz-Pentium with Hauppauge-Nova, 
Dxr3 and lirc. Depending on the station it uses 60-90% of 
resources, recording is not possible (too slow). But it's enough to 
watch TV ... 

Btw, does anyone know about how to switch off transfer mode to 
be able to record something ? 

greetings,
Chris
