[mythtv-users] Issue with Multirec and DVB-S?

[Ben Lancaster]

Hi there,

I'm currently recording something on an HVR-4000 hybrid card using the  
DVB-S tuner on ITV HD. When I launched Live TV, it started on BBC HD.  
I thought this was a little strange as I only have a single DVB-S  
tuner, and didn't realise that ITV HD or BBC HD were on the same  
multiplex (if DVB-S even has multiplexes?), so I'd have expected  
MythTV to switch to one of the DVB-T tuners on another card. I flicked  
around a few other DVB-S channels and noticed that they were all  
playing fine. So, I went in to my recordings and started watching the  
DVB-S recording on ITV HD to find that the recording stopped working  
at around the point I'd switched to Live TV - mythbackend still says  
it's recording ITV HD (and it's still flagged as "currently recording"  
in Watch Recordings) but it's impossible to play past the point that I  
started watching Live TV, and the total time counter doesn't increase.  
None of my other tuners were active at the time, only the DVB-S one.

Here's what mythfrontend logs at the point that it reaches the "end"  
of the show that should be recording:

Is this a bug that needs reporting, or an issue with my setup? I do  
have multirec set up on the DVB-S tuner, it looks like I probably  
shouldn't, but surely MythTV shouldn't have allowed me to have  
multirec setup on an input that doesn't support it?
