I have a setup where I watch FreeviewNZ (MediaPortal RC1/TV-Server) using the DVB-T side of my hauppauge HVR-3000 cards but rely on the DVB-S side to download the 8 day EPG. The -T tuners are set at a higher priority than the -S tuners (to get HD as a first option) so as far as I can tell that means when MP goes to update the EPG it uses the -T tuners, and because of MHEG-5 gets no useful info. Is there any way to force MP/TVS to use the -S tuner as its first choice for EPG? At the moment I manually disable the -T tuners, and update the EPG, then re-enable them. I am unsure if each mux carries only its own EPG info. I have all the freeview channels that are T and S paired.
The only other info I have found on this thread relates to using a -S download in support of an analogue channel. Is there a plugin or a setting that will allow me to say use this particular DVB-S tuner to download the EPG when idle?
