First of all "Hi", since it's my first post here.
I have just donwloaded yaVDR 0.3 and made bootable USB stick. I will start installing it probably tomorrow. Maybe if I'm lucky, I will get some answers before I start.
1. I have TBS6981 DVB-S/S2 card - which version should I install? With that s2-liplianin drivers, or Ubuntu updated drivers, or just simple yaVDR?
Drivers for my card are available on producer's site.
2. I have GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 motherboard from Gigabyte and Asus GeForce GT520. Will the sound work OK after installing, or should I make something additional to get the sound out from HDMI of GPU card? I tried firstly to install ubuntu > xbmc > vdr, and I had actually play a bit to do that, and I'm still not sure how I succeeded... 
That's all for now.
Will appreciate your answers.
I saw some threads in German, but I'm not sure if I understand it well (couple of years passed since I stopped learning)...
