Hello, in Jaunary I asked your suggestions for hardware capable of doing DVB-S2 and HDTV to replace an old setup. Based on your helpful responses I decided to use:
Ascrock M3AUCC AthlonII X3 455 Nvidia GT240 2x SkyStar HD2 (2.6.38.4 mantis works good, but no RC)
I worked on my VDR 1.6 setup for many years with liemikuutio patches, text2skin themes, externalplayer plugin launching Oxine... so I decided to replicate that setup first, and it all works great again.
Reason I haven't tried VDR 1.7 yet, and that I'm here again, is the GT240 graphics. I could only obtain a 512MB model, which I did even though the supplier said it will be no good for HD on a 107cm LCD TV. Was he trying to sell me more expensive graphics, or that actually makse sense? Thanks.

Well, a GT240 might not be sufficient to play recent games on a Full HD resolution, but that's not what you're up to. Even a G210 is fast enough for FullHD h264 decoding unless you want to use the most sophisticated deinterlacers. A GT240 should do for anything you want to do with your VDR.
Best regards, Roland
