+# Apply this patch to VDR if you want to use a fullfeatured DVB card
+# as pure output device. Infact the patch will keep VDR from using the
+# tuner of any local DVB card (also budget cards). It will not affect
+# other input devices like e.g. streamdev-client or DVB cards provided
+# by plugins (e.g. Hauppauge PVR).
+#
+# By default the patch is DISABLED. There will be a new OSD menu entry
+# in Setup->DVB which allows you to enable or disable the patch at any
+# time.
