[mythtv-users] How to delete encoders from mythtv database

[Albert Graham]

Brad,

Reading the docs at:

http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-23.html#advanced_backend_config

Confirms what you are saying to be correct.

Quote:
"The scheduler in MythTV checks whether an encoder is available; if a 
slave backend isn't running, its encoder isn't available, so the 
scheduler will look for the next available encoder. This makes MythTV 
very flexible; slave tuners can come and go, and as long as there are 
enough tuners for what you'd like to record it doesn't matter which 
tuner in particular is going to be used"

In my case I have no slave back end's at all.

So why can't a schedule anything to record, also why is there nothing in 
my "upcoming recordings", it's like some select is pointing to the wrong 
value, but what ?

Albert.
