> so what for do you need the OSD then on each card?

I have a beamer connected on the second card, sometimes the power of the
beamer breaks for some reason - afterwards it is a lot of work to switch
back to DVB1 (unplugging the beamer, plugging the TV on this card,
switching back to DVB1, unplugging TV ... etc.)

I know I could define a User key to do this work, but it would be much
easier with OSD on all cards.

but the tuning fails, after a complete new installation

I have to do the switch/reswitch/restart DVB "trick" at least once!!
