[mythtv-users] Vbox multirec in Australia

Hello,

 

If anyone has had some experience in setting up a Vbox tuner in Australia
using multirec, I would be interested in how that was done.

 

I'm currently on 0.28 and have a Vbox, which works OK for a single recording
per tuner and I understand I have to upgrade to 29 to use multirec.

 

However, the Vbox setup is a bit different to standard tuner cards and
network devices such as HDHomerun.

 

What is a bit puzzling is how Mythtv scheduler knows which channels are on
the same multiplex.  It would seem that information is not available from
the tuner, as would be the case for other cards.

 

In Australia we have about 20 channels shared across 5 multiplexes, so
multirec needs to know whether a potential recording is on the same
multiplex and hence can use the same tuner or not.  This is different to the
UK which is what I can find for discussions on multirec and VBox. 

 

Thanks,

Andrew
