It is also possible to start watching a recorded programme before the live
broadcast has ended (\fBtime shifting\fR). In order to record from different
transponders simultaneously two or more DVB cards are necessary.
By default \fBvdr\fR can support up to four
DVB cards. The primary DVB card (the one your TV set is connected to) has
to be a "full featured" card, which means it must contain an MPEG decoder
and provide audio and video signal outputs.
By default \fBvdr\fR can support up to eight DVB cards.
The primary DVB card (the one your TV set is connected to) can either
be a "full featured" card, which means it contains an MPEG decoder
and provides audio and video signal outputs, or you can use some third party
plugin that implements software decoding of the MPEG data and displays it via

Remote access is possible via the "Simple Video Disk Recorder Protocol" (SVDRP),
which can be accessed on port 6419, for instance by \fBtelnet\fR.
