Is this something to do with input groups? - this is something I have failed to get my head around and just allowed mythtv-setup to specify it in its own mysterious way :)<br>
<br>
</div>Whoops, just answered my own question… I'd given both tuners the same name in the backend setup :) PEBKAC.<br>
<br>
On this subject though, I'm still a little confused about input groups. The backend setup, under Input Connections, has two input groups for each tuner. For each tuner the first input group is set to something like /dvb/adapterN/frontend0 and the second is set to 'Generic'. But as I understand it, to permit 4 simultaneous recordings (assuming appropriate choices of channles/multiplexes) the second one should also be unique. Is this wrong?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
