Hi,
I just installed vdr 1.6.0 on Debian stable (Lenny). I run it on an old
notebook (Dell 1300, 1.5 GHz Celeron M).
Up until now the system was a network storage for some windows clients and a
music player for my living room. Now I plan to use vdr as a remote
controled VCR.
To keep it quiet
Just to complete the picture, here's the powertop output while recording.
Don't start cheering about less wakeups per second (1300 vs 2700).
There's less wakups per second as the system doesn't get into idle mode
as often, in the first place.

Here's the powertop output for the siemens stick in various situations:

For completeness and comparability:
The Fujitsu Stick (vp7045) still by far beats the af9015
in terms of resource usage with vdr. (13% vs 19% with or
37% without hw pid filter)
It doesn't seem to hava a hw pid filter ( at least it doesn't
react to the force_pid_filter_usage option. so here ar

Hi Antti,
Just to complete this I've made some tests with the
"Toshiba USB DVB-T Tuner PX1211E-1TVD".
The short result is:
Without PID filter its load is equivalent to the Fujitsu-Siemens. (5.8%
and 14.4%)
With PID filter it produces even less load than the af9015 with pid filter.
About 0.5% wit
