[mythtv-users] DVB-T USB dual-tuners in Mythtv?

[Ma Begaj]

you can make shell script which checks every few hours is the mythtv
busy, and if not, you can reload firmware/modules. you can do it with
something like that.

----------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
mythshutdown -s 1 -v all | grep 'status returned: 0' >/dev/null

if [ $? == 0 ]; then
    ## reload firmware/modules
else
    sleep 180
    mythshutdown -s 1 -v all | grep 'status returned: 0' >/dev/null
    while [ $? == 0 ]; then
        sleep 180
        mythshutdown -s 1 -v all | grep 'status returned: 0' >/dev/null
    fi
    ## reload firmware/modules
fi
----------------------------------------------------------------

this can be written nicer with subroutines to prevent repeating
commands, but it is just an idea so you can see what I am talking
about.
