Hello,

Is it possible to use 2 tv cards with MLD?

1- PCIe tv card
2- USB tv card

I read that it can be done using dual tuners like DD Cine-S2 but i couldn't find any tutorial for two different tv cards

Any suggestions?

Best regards

Hi Roland,

I tried it already but only one tv card is working however when i try to switch to another tv card i get no signal lock.

P.S. The two tv cards are connected to 2 different LNB.

Best regards.

Are the LNB's on the same satellite ?

No, LNB (1) Hotbird 13.0°E
      LNB (2) Nilesat  07.0°W

(No diseqc switch)

I read about it here but i think the tv cards should be connected to the same LNB.

Im VDR-Menü unter Einstellungen->LNB kann man einstellen, welche Karten am selben LNB angeschlossen sind. Alle Karten, bei denen die gleiche LNB-Nummer eingetragen ist, teilen sich diesen.
In der setup.conf wird dies so abgebildet:

Hi,

I think you have to edit then

'Setup – TV – DVB – Edit DiSEqC setup'

Thanks for your suggestion.

I edit the Diseqc setup already using Technisat Skystar Expess HD PCIe + Disqec + 2 LNB's
It works just fine.

Now i got 2 tv cards
1- Technisat Skystar Expess HD PCIe : Conected to LNB (1) Hotbird 13.0°E
2- Technisat Skystar USB HD : Conected to LNB (2) Nilesat  07.0°W

There is no Diseqc.

So, whether i choose Yes i'm using Diseqc or No i'm not using Diseqc only one tv card is working.

Best regards.

Sorry,

I know that there is a way to do it,
but i don't know how to tell the vdr to use a specific tv-card for a specific satellite.

No problem ... thank you for helping.
Here are different combinations i tried so far but i don't know which one is correct.
I believe the 1st LNB setup is wrong because i don't use Diseqc.

I think
channels.conf (http://vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Channels.conf)
and
sources.conf (http://vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Sources.conf)

are your friends :-)

Hi Michael,

I'm registered on this nice forum since two weeks ago but we are all friends here :-)
Regarding my question, that task can be easily done on OpenPLi Enigma2 as you can see in the attachment.
I just can't figure it out using VDR.

I'm also sure, that it's possible to setup that, but I can't remember how. The reason is, that only one user ask for this in 5 years
If you don't find the answer in the linked wiki, please take a request at https://www.vdr-portal.de/ since I'm sure there will be a user who remember how to setup it.

Only one user ask the same question in 5 years?
That's funny, perhaps it will be solved in 2023 
I will take a look at that link ... thanks Claus

maybe I can ask a friend of mine. I am remembering that he was using astra and hotbird at two different dishes. But he is now in Brussel

so will take a week

Yes, it's the same situation as mine except i'm using Hotbird and Nilesat on two dishes.
It would be nice of you to ask him.
It's better to wait for a week than waiting for 5 years

Thanks MarMic
