I’m wondering how this would work using the external video recorder as the tuner. I’d like to be able to start ‘watching’ the video input, with no tuning required.<br>
<br>
While ‘watching ‘ the tuner, I’d like to be able to use the record button to start recording.. and then at predetermined time hit the record again to stop recording.<br>
<br>
Again, no tuning will be involved, just starting and stopping the external tuner.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Hi Jay,</div><div><br></div><div>I don't know if it will help you, but as of Mythtv v33, the mythexternrecorder application now lets you set "per channel" tuning command.
