[mythtv-users] Recording on dual tuner setups - how does it work?

[john roberts]

Hey all,

Been using mythtv for some time now - and been loving it! :)  I recently installed a pcHDTV card and things are looking better and better every day.

My current problem is with recording shows.  All my content is coming OTA - so my PVR-250 and my pcHDTV card both get their feed from the same source (OTA).

I followed the same method as others here on the list in dealing with ATSC content from the pcHDTV card and assigned ATSC content to channel 150 (vs. 50 for the NTSC content for the same channel).  I'm able to hit "y" and change the channel to 150 and I can watch ATSC content.

My problem is when I want to record channel 50 (NTSC).  It seems to be defaulting to the pcHDTV card vs. the PVR-250.  When I record channel 150 - it selects the pcHDTV card and everything seems to be ok.

So my question is this - how do I configure mythtv to record ATSC signals using the pcHDTV card only and NTSC content using the PVR-250?

I was thinking I could create a OTA-SD and a OTA-HD and setup two ZapIt (or whatever the service is called - I forget) accounts.  One account would have ATSC content for my area and the other would have NTSC content channels.

Is there a better way?

setup:
- mythtv 0.15.1 (with XvMC patches from Daniel)
- ivtv 0.10 (with Kennedy's patches)
- 2.6.7 kernel
- P4/2.6G HT
- pvr-250
- pcHDTV
- FX-5500

Thanks!

-John
