Comment (by Gary Buhrmaster <gary.buhrmaster@…>):
The "easy" solution to sharing is "don't", and if that requires network
isolation (usually sub-netting, although PACLs can sometimes be used),
that is a trivial exercise to achieve the desired result with none of the
identified downsides. While I would like sharing, I have chosen network
isolation because I have not found the resources to "do it right". It
should be noted that most apps do not share well. SageTV does not share
well. WMC sort of shares, but you get interesting results as the
recordings fail, and then it retries (which may or may not work). AFAIK
only the apps provided by SiliconDust (surprise surprise) share well, and
then (of course) only with their other apps that are sharing well.
Not that I am committing any resources, but I wonder if the locking of all
configured tuners at backend startup (and then running a background thread
to keep them locked) would be an adequate initial solution to this
problem. That would eliminate the issues that MythTV encounters, and
insure (reasonably) proper scheduling decisions since the number of
available tuners would be (mostly) accurate.
