<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"><p>I considered getting a second antenna and using a splitter in reverse to merge the signals from both Antenna's. Then using my drop amp to bring up the signal gain so that I could split all that off to multiple tuners. That way no tuner is limited on which channels it could record because it was connected to one directional antenna or the other.</p>
<p>How do you not create the video sources without lineups? The option for me has always been EIT/SD or XML. Do you have the channels split over each tuner based on what it receives and then tag a different lineup for it?</p>
<p>I can't really do that as I only have one tuner for the moment. I will add another SD lineup for the additional area that I receive and see what happens. I assume the XMLID is the number that pops up on SD when you point at the channel on its lineup page? If it isn't, how do I obtain the XMLID?</p>

<blockquote>I think the question is, "how do you create a video
source containing both
lineups". The input connections page in setup only allows you to
link a
single source to each tuner, and each source only allows you to
select a
single lineup.
This seems like a common scenario using SD with OTA channels, I
know many
people who receive channels from two separate cities on the same
antenna,
and SD may not contain a single lineup with all of those channels.
It would
be nice if SD had the option to merge two lineups, or if a video
source
could have more than one lineup.
Is there a trick to this I am not aware of? It doesn't effect me,
but I am
curious.

I have always used two "lineups" with SD to get data for all of my
OTA channels. I don't know about creating video sources with
lineups in MythTV, as I have never done that. To me, the idea of a
lineup is just silly, since no one else has the same set of channels
that I do.<br>
<br>
I just manually enter the XMLTV ID for each channel in the channel
editor for each input. I have 6 tuners, each on it's own input. I
probably could use two inputs (I have two independent antennas), but
I find it easier to determine which tuner is being used when each
tuner is assigned it's own input.<br>
