Yup! :)

It's a pretty complicated matter and not very easy to explain in few 
words (if you have a better wording please send a patch). Basically 
there's two ways to set up the demux, lets call them the "hw" and the 
"sw" way. The "hw" method breaks Marcus Metzler's budget card (and 
possibly some other too), and it also makes it impossible to record 
multiple streams (e.g. different languages). The "sw" method is normally 
preferred since it fixes those things, but it doesn't work for people 
with DEC2000-t thingies (and probably some other devices too). They just 
get a black screen which is kinda bad. So until things gets fixed I made 
it an option.

BTW, I only mean this as a _workaround_ for you to use until the real 
bug is fixed. I just saw you're working with DTK on this? Great, best of 
luck. :)
