1 TV-card and 2 clients (1 Viewer)

[karlv]

Hi,

i am having a simple question, just to see if i am understanding the system right.
When running a TVServer with one TV-card and there are 2 clients connected.

Client 1 wants to see Channel 1.
Client 2 wants to see Channel 2.

If they are one same transponder it should be no problem. Right?

But what happens if Client1 switches to Channel 3 on a different transponder?
Is client2 then forced to watch channel3?

thanks

Have a look on:

In my mind, Client1 is the owner of the tvcard (first come, first serve...) and holds all rights on it. So, if Client1 wants to zap to another transponder Client2 will be "kicked".

ok.

But what means "kicked"?

Is client2 seeing a error message like : "No free card available."?
