Ok, I tried vdr-sxfe and it indeed is a much better solution and the OSD works
exactly as it should. It's really looking nice.
However, I still can see only a small subset of the channels that "normal" VDR
can see. I somehow suspect it's due to my hw setup:
* 1 Hauppuage FF DVB-c
* 1 Hauppuage FF DVB-c + CI
The second card is the old primary card where the s-video is connected. I can
only actually see channels that the second card *only* can tune into, i.e. a
few encrypted channels for which the CI is used. All other normal open
channels can not be seen using vdr-sxfe, I just get a "No signal" image. I
suspect that the first DVB card is normally used for tuning into these
channels, but that shouldn't matter, should it?
If I could just get all channels shown this solution would totally rock my
setup. :)
