</div>Sorry, Can you explain this a bit better What is multirec? and why do<br>
I lose it if the device supports it?<br></blockquote><div><br>I'm assuming (perhaps incorrectly) that you're currently running mythtv in australia with DVB-T tuners, and are looking to replace them with the HDHomeRun.<br>
<br>MythTV allows you to record more than 1 thing per tuner with DVB-T, as long as they are on the same multiplex. So for example you could record:<br>ABC1 - 8:55 to 9:35<br>ABC1 - 9:25 to 10:05 (5 minute padding before and after)<br>
ABC2 - 9:00 to 10:00<br><br>And it will only take 1 tuner. Without multirec that would take 3 tuners, so you'd have a conflict.<br><br>In Australia the multiplex ability is nice, but the overlaps is what really makes it shine.<br>
<br>The HDHomerun DVB-T has seperate API commands for "tune" vs "pull stream with PID 2482," and thus could do multirec, but (last I checked, maybe someone will correct me?) mythtv does not yet support it.<br>
<br>The latest I saw on the dev list was in feb:<br><a href="http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/370460">http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/370460</a><br><br>So apparently there's a patch out there, but I'm not certain:<br>
1. if it's in trunk yet or still just in trac<br>2. if it's planned for fixes<br></div></div><br>
