<pre>I used input connections, select tuner, then under interactions between tuners, set maximum recordings. i don't know</pre>
<pre>if it is right thing, but i have no problems using 4 tuner quattro with the hdhrrecorder external</pre>

<p>I kind of assume Interactions was the place. I
can't seem to get it configure though. My setup
is OTA ATSC USA only. I have the XMLTV setup just
like my productions system, but here's part of the
log I see from mythtv-setup</p>

<div class="gmail_quote">You are sure that

<div>That "#012#011#011#011" concerns me a little bit. I
will check on that, but it is unlikely to be your
problem.</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Scratch that. Those are some bogus error messages being
generated, and that is not your issue.</div>
<div>After you add the card and get the input setup, what does
mythbackend have to say about it, after you restart it?</div>

<p>I tried one more thing, but no success. I first setup success
fully 2 HDHR tuners normally and XMLTV json lite and got the EPG
and tuners working. Then I deleted all tuners and added 2 external
recorder tuners using the mythhdhrrecorder script. Because the
EPG had been setup before I could at least get the backend to
think it was setup okay so I could exit. But when I was running, I
could not tune to a Live TV channel.</p>
