Subject: [mythtv-users] Multi tuner setup - a few questions
I extended my mythtv setup (1 backend with 2 tuners plus 2
frontends) with another 2 frontends for my parents and my
brother. at this point the trouble
begun:
1. If someone is watching live tv and a recording begins on
that tuner and the other one is free, in my oppinion it
should 1. move the recording to a free tuner or 2. give the
option to change tuner. Are there plans to change this?
It's very hard to explain them why they should go to the menu
and try it again. Btw. what tuner is used for live tv? the
one with the longest time without a recording?
2. If i need more tuners, especially for live tv, i can add
another backend, but this consumes power all the day. my idea
was to put a card in a frontend and mark this card only for
use with live tv and this frontend. But i didn't find
information on how to do this. Is this possible right now? If
not, it could be a useful feature for the next releases. It
could be done like ACL:
which tuner can be used for recordings and/or live tv and by
which frontend.
thanks,
Flo

Flo,
1. live tv defaults to last tuner on the list
if the listings for both cards are equal and priority is equal,
your first tuner is default for recording
2. adding a tuner to the frontend, I think you need to configure the
frontend as a dual front-slave backend. This will use one central
database, but give you tuner card control locally.
Nathan.

Yeah, add a tuner to the frontend and make it a slave backend. The
master backend will reschedule around that card when the power to the
machine is turned off. When it is on it will be used for live tv or
recording if needed. It also seems like a slave/fronend will use its
local card for livetv first over a remote card (makes sense to me
instead of using the network). <br>
