[vdr] Re: stopping...due to higher priority -- bug or feature?

[bsch@dit-gmbh.de]

hello
just my experience:
it works for me with 4 dvb cards
primery is card 1
and no ci
there are multiple recordings on one
card from the same transponder
(tested at the same time on 2 cards),
but the card using for
recordings starts on the last card.
perhaps it breaks recoring of non fta
