[mythtv-users] Remote recorder advice

[Andrew Wilkinson]

Hi,

Thanks for the software suggestions. I'll look into them in more detail.
Not being able to scan for channels does sound like a pain. I'm in the UK,
with both Freeview and Freesat tuners. Freeview would probably be ok as it
has far fewer channels and doesn't change as often, but things changed
pretty frequently on Freesat.

Wake on lan works extremely reliably for me. It wakes the backend every
time when the frontend boots. My question was more about whether MythTV
could use WOL to wake up a remote tuner, or if it expected them to always
be running.

Thanks,
Andrew
