[QUOTE="tbar, post: 631148, member: 50673"] Thanks for all your help Tompa. Given the limited level of response I assume that this is how MP is meant to work. However, I can't really see the point of this design this seems to significantly dilute the value of timeshift, i.e. it only works for the current show while you are watching it. So if I want to check another TV show I will lose the current buffer. If I want to check music, recorded TV, TV Shows... The tuner will be stopped and hence there will be no timeshift buffer. All that is needed is to capability to Stop playing TV rather that stop the tuner. Also the benefit of having multiple tuners is to be able to tuner to channels and then swap between tuners/channels. Given that there is not a list of Tuners to select this cannot be done. This capability is not should be able to fit with current MP. In TV there is the ability to see the 'streams' this just needs to show the 'active', 'recording' and 'idle' streams (Tuners). Selecting a tuner has the same effect as 'Turn on TV' button. Looks like all the core system is there just needs to be harnessed. But I will say thanks again. I have decided to do a fresh install of XPMCE and Meedio in a bid to get stability and functionality. And I have to say it is working well. Possibly MediaPortal 2 will better support TV. [/QUOTE]
