Hello MythTV People
My MythTV backend has two DVB-S tuner cards, and a twin DVB-T card,
giving me four inputs in total.
Having read all the documentation I can find, and tried various
combinations of settings, I can't work out how many Video Sources I
should set up.
DVB-S and DVB-T carry different channels (with some overlap), but the
only workable xmltv source of listings is tv_grab_uk_rt.
I've set up a separate channel listing file for DVB-S and DVB-T, i.e.
the files with lines like channel cbeebies.bbc.co.uk
channel channel5.co.uk
It seems sensible to just have one Video Source defined in mythtv-setup
for DVB-S, and one for DVB-T, because they refer to a single source of
information. But on the other hand, 'Video Source' also seems to mean
the same thing as 'Input Card' when it comes to switching sources in the
front-end menu. If I only define one Video Source, I can't use 'Switch
Source' from the Live-TV menu.
What is the best way to set this up?
cheers
Chris
