[mythtv-users] Watching Analog Sources at multiple Frontends Simultaneously

[Andrew Herron]

Brian,

What i was thinking is that the first Frontend to select an analog capture
input would have control of the Input - no tweaking by others would be
allowed. Any other Frontend would just be able to 'watch' whatever that
analog Input is capturing...it would seem to me to be a useful additional
capability that builds off of what MythTV already does very well.

Thanks again

Andrew
