[QUOTE="DrMopar, post: 494442, member: 70303"] Hi, I only have one LNB and so can't be much help with your Diseqc issues. I'm running a HVR4000 and switch between DVB-T and DVB-S without issue. On DVB-T you'll only get "now and next" on the EPG as MP can't read the format the full EPG is transmitted in. I believe that the best way around this is to combine the channels (i.e. TV 1 sat and TV 1 terrestrial) and then prioritise whichever logical card you prefer. e.g. Set the DVB-T card as the highest priority and you'll get the EPG off the Sat but the programme will record off the UHF aerial. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm trying to get DVB-T up and running but am not in a great reception area.
