VDR prefers the cheapest device in terms of supported modulations. In streamdev the number of modulations is currently hardcoded to 1. A DVB-S2 card supports 2 modulations (DVB-S and DVB-S2). Since VDR 1.7.15 the modulations of DVB-C cards are counted as well (QPSK, QAM32/64/128/256, VSB8/16, TURBO_FEC). You'll get up to 8 modulations.

I'll add a setup option to streamdev-client to configure the amount of reported modulations. In the meantime help your self by changing the value NumProvidedSystems() returns in client/device.h. [EDIT]3 means streamdev-client is equal to a DVB-S2 card which can do QPSK (DVB-S + DVB-S2 + QPSK), 4 or more means streamdev-client is "better" [/EDIT] and VDR will avoid using it with the following drawback: If you watch live TV via local DVB card and a recording starts from a different transponder, the recording will use the local DVB card because it's cheaper. Live TV will be interrupted for a short moment while it is shifted to streamdev
