I do all my recordings through an HDHomeRun Prime, which has 3 tuners on it. When I set it up, many mythtv versions ago, I created 3 capture cards, named A12BC34D-0,
A12BC34D-1, and A12BC34D-2. Every once in awhile I wanted to remove one of the tuners from MythTV and use it for another application instead, and that was as simple as deleting the capture card A12BC34D-2, and re-adding it when I was done.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Now I've run mythtv-setup for the first time in awhile, and the first time in a couple MythTV versions. (I'm on v31 now.) I see all 3 capture cards in there, but I don't see any differentiation between tuner 0, tuner 1, and tuner 2. I deleted one of them, and when adding it back, it simply asked me to confirm that I meant HDHomeRun ID A12BC34D, without specifying a tuner.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">How can I make sure that MythTV only uses 2 tuners, and never touches the 3rd one? What's the difference between my 2 remaining capture cards; is there some info hidden somewhere in there that indicates a single tuner number per "capture card"?<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Thanks!</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div></div>
