AW: [mythtv] More DVB Channels from one Transponer

[Jochen Kühner]

Why should I only new wich multiplexes we have after a scan??
We have a liste of the Multiplex in the dtv_multiplex table, and when I
record a programm I have the multiplex id wich it uses. So I kno now that I
can record all other programs with the same mplex-id on the same card to.

Im currently working out if the linux driver supports 2 or more streams from
one transponder and how this could be included in myth-tv!

I'm not sure I quite follow all of your email but I think the following
areas of work need to be covered.

Work out how you can use the scheduler to share a DVB card. The sharable
field in the cardinput table allows you to mark an input as sharable,
but I'm not sure how you link these things together to specific channel
groups.

One of the main issues I can see is feeding the list of multiplex's back
into the system in some sort of sensible way. Currently we only know
which multiplexes we have after we do a scan. This is the area of UI
that I'd concentrate on.

You also need to consider how you open additional PIDS in dvbrecorder to
do this. 

This would probably cover the main points of the scheduler you could
then move onto the frontend. I'm sure there's other stuff as well.

So, easy then :)
