Most people perform a single scan that scans all of the MUXes defined in the tuning-parameters file. This of course uses the same tuner card for all of the MUXes in that scan.To select the strongest MUX where multiple are received for the same channel group (e.g. the "BBC1 SD" MUX), you would need to remember the signal strength received for each MUX during the scan, so that when you encountered a later MUX that duplicated an earlier MUX (e.g. a second "BBC1 SD" MUX), you would have available the signal strength for that earlier MUX, and be able to compare it with the signal strength for the later MUX. That comparison would allow you to decide which of those two MUXes to retain, and which to discard.The signal strength for each MUX needs to be retained only during the scan -- it is not meaningful to retain it long term, so there is no need to store it in the tuning database.Sadly, MP1 has too few active developers, and I don't want to discourage you if you would like to get involved in MP development. Also, most developers work on the features that they themselves want to use. (If I ever get involved in development, this is how I would decide what to work on.) However, I am not sure that implementing a "Pick strongest" option in "TV Server" provides the "best bang for the buck". -- from CyberSimian in the UK
