Using DVB-T and DVB-S with similar channel lineup?

    Hi All,


    Firstly apologies for writing this in English - I do know _some_ German but not enough to explain this correctly :)


    I currently have VDR setup with DVB-T and I also have a DVB-S card that I would like to use, the satellite for the DVB-S card provides most of the existing channels I have, but also some extra ones and a few HD channels.
    Is there any way to 'combine' the channels that are the same in my channels.conf ?


    So that I can record something from one of those channels while being able to view another different channel..


    I understand that it is possible to simply 'merge' the channels.conf from the DVB-T scan with the DVB-S one, but then I would end up with two listings for some channels.


    Is there any way to specify one channel but provide two different tuning details ? (so one DVB-T and one DVB-S)


    Many Thanks!

    A patch called "alternative channel" exists. However, its seems to me that it won't work with the current version.

    Thanks for the reply, just had a quick google for the patch you mentioned and it looks like it was made for 1.4.0 and only affected recordings :(


    It's a real shame a feature like that would totally complete my setup.


    Any ideas if this is on the roadmap for VDR ?


    Cheers!
