Or is there a variant of the 948 with a device id different from 16be:000d? It should be possible to give a list to the use_frontend=xx option. Something like use_frontend=0,1,0 which should select DVB-S only for the 2nd instance. Am i wrong? Of corse you will need to select the right frontend which is not easy with some applications. But thank you for your fast reporting! Another issue: You have some patches waiting for integration. We can use my other repository for this.
