[mythtv-users] Blank Recordings - please confirm

[CHRIS KOTTING]

I'm having an issue with blank recordings, and I wanted to confirm what I'm 
finding by searching the archive (because I'm hoping that there is a 
different answer available).

I have two inputs to a PVR-150 card connected, Tuner0 goes to my cable (no 
cable box) and the S-Video input comes from our VCR.  Both are configured in 
mythtvsetup, each with its own channel line-up.  The connection to the VCR 
is primarily for pulling our home videos into Myth, but I was hoping to be 
able to use the VCR as a second tuner, and be able to switch between two 
channels by using "C" to change inputs.  (Yes, I know this would play hob 
with the ringbuffer, so maybe it's a silly idea.)

Anyway, since I set up the S-video input, scheduled recordings have all been 
blank.  The files are there, and I didn't see any problems in the logfiles 
when I looked at them.  (Can't append them right now, as I'm nowhere near 
the machine, and have no way of ssh-ing to it.)

Is it (still) true that you cannot have two different inputs configured in 
mythtvsetup and record reliably?  I was wondering if this could be gotten 
around by raising the priority of Tuner0.

Thanks!
