This version fixes a few minor bugs that came up after the release of version 2.0.2.

The changes since version 2.0.2:

- Fixed asserting free disk space in the cutter.
- No longer trying to delete old recordings in AssertFreeDiskSpace() if the given
Priority is less than 1.
- Fixed handling LIRC events in case repeated events are lost.
- Fixed a possible crash when shutting down VDR while subtitles are being displayed
(reported by Ville Skyttä).
- cDevice::IsPrimaryDevice() now also checks whether the primary device actually has
a decoder and returns false otherwise. This should improve device allocation on
systems that are only used as a receiver and don't actually display anything.
- Increased the value of MAXRETRIES to 20 to reduce the probability of disturbances
in transfer mode.
- All bonded devices (except for the master) now turn off their LNB power completely
to avoid problems when receiving vertically polarized transponders (suggested by
Manfred Völkel and Oliver Endriss).
- Fixed cleaning up old EPG events in case no epg data file is given (reported by
Dave Pickles).

Have fun!

Does this mean that you cannot use a dual dvb card or 2 dvb cards for watching a channel and recording another channel?

No, you can use a Dual-DVB an record something in background. This change does just prevent seen issues with "Device Bonding" and maybe SCR.

Guess a situation with one LNB and your dual card, no multiswitch in between, in this case it's enough if one of both tuner does provide power to the LNB ...

That is not my situation, have a quad switching lnb (INVERTO Quad 0.2 dB)on a rotating dish (1.2m ).

I would say it's not possible to use Device Bonding and rotor support simultaneously, whereas I do think this does not make sense. Any secondary DVB adapter is always chained to the orbital position of the so called master adapter.

Device Bonding is kind "of cool workaround" for situations, where the user does just have one cable to a satellite receiving option. So one LNB connection or one multiswitch port in an apartment building, connecting to 2+n DVB devices. It's a way of reception for it's own and e.g. also not combinable with either DiSEqC or it's sibling SCR/Unicable®.

Oops, typo, I think does not make sense to combine rotor and device bonding ...
