</p><p class="">Okay, my initial test worked. I setup to record 2 HDTV programs
at the same time from a HDHR Duo. Then once the recordings
started I could use mythfrontend to view either recording while
both programs were still recording. With a Duo that's as much as
you could do. I ran this test at a time when no other system
wanted to use the HDHR since I was using the standard HDHR setup
and not mythhdhrrecorder external recorder that does share.<br class="">
</p><p class="">I have some major concerns about using this on a home network
though. To share the HDHRs I would have to use mythhdhrrecorder
and that sort of forces me to tv_grab_zz_sdjson_sqlite which is
supposed to be a huge memory hog. The RP3 only has 1GB for
everything. For my test described above I use an external xml file
to fill the EPG so memory wasn't an issue.</p><div class=""><br class=""></div></div></div></blockquote><br class=""></div><div><br class=""></div><div>When this thread started I was thinking you were wanting it for travel use in an RV or similar. The referenced solution using the 2 RPis would be very portable. </div><div><br class=""></div><div>I don’t think I would want the portable RPi solution for everyday usage at home either. I also use the silicondust premium and the mythhdhrrecorder as well although I am going to drop it this month and maybe pick it back up during the holidays later this year.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>Maybe by then the quality will be better and the channels will return that were lost over these past holidays.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>Regards,</div><div><br class=""></div><div><br class=""></div><div><br class=""></div><div><br class=""></div><br class=""></body></html>
