[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1057666, member: 82144"] Okay, understood. This is difficult because the settings that affect a tuner's behaviour can be global (ie. affect all tuners) or tuner-specific (ie. affect only one tuner). You may notice that all the "random" or "non-bulk" tuner-specific settings are already configured in one place: [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/02_TV_Servers#Edit_Tuner_Settings[/url] There are two exceptions depending on your point of view: the timeshift and record folder settings. We put these in the timeshifting and recording sections with the other global settings because it seemed to make more sense. In my opinion everything else is already divided pretty cleanly depending on whether it is tuner-specific or global. For example, the SDT/VCT timeout setting that you've hopefully come across as part of your CableCARD tuner configuration is a global setting. We don't think it is necessary to make it tuner specific, so we put it with the global scan settings. Showing it with other tuner-specific settings (like the "CAM" settings) would be confusing. Imagine: editing a setting for one tuner then going to view/edit another only to find that it had been updated by the previous change. I'm not saying the current way is perfect and right. This balance between tuner-specific and global settings [B]is[/B] tricky. If you have comments about moving specific settings then I'd be all ears. :) In answer to your previous question about a custom hardware-specific interface... Aside from the database level (which isn't really usable for most people), no such interface exists. [/QUOTE]
