[mythtv-users] channel switching only by hand, not when recording

[Ron]

Hi Ivan

Thanks for the reply. But I did not mean two processes at the same time. The
problem is that while not running any other processes, the recorder will not
switch to the channel it should record. It will stay at the channel last
seen with LiveTV. So when LiveTv is off, the recorder will still not switch
to the right channel!
