[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1118351, member: 82144"] Hello I don't ever remember there being such an option... but from your comment about MP 0.0.0.1 and forum join date it looks like you've been using MP much longer than I have. ;) Strictly speaking, no. There is absolutely no way to 100% prevent a tuner being used for either timeshifting or recording. Setting the max number of cards for timeshifting to 4 would mean that TV Server would try up to 4 tuners (as/if necessary) when receiving a request to start timeshifting. If you prioritised the 4 FloppyDTVs then that would make it more likely that only those tuners would be tried for timeshifting. However, as soon as one or more of those tuners is in use, TV Server would have the ability to try the Cine and/or Hauppauge tuners. Since the tuner priorities are the same for timeshifting and recording, there's also no way to prefer the FloppyDTVs for timeshifting and prefer the Cine for recording. No, definitely not. The card driver has no idea whether it is used for timeshifting or recording. Only the software (eg. MP) knows that. The only [very complex] way that I can think of to achieve what you want would be to create two copies of each channel. The first one is used for timeshifting only; the second for recording only. You map the timeshifting channels to the FloppyDTVs and the recording channels to the Cines (and others if you want). Prioritise the Cine tuners so that TV Server uses them first for recordings, and only falls back to the FloppyDTVs if necessary. Then you just have to make sure to schedule all recordings on the recording channel set, and only select the timeshifting channel set when watching/timeshifting TV. Creating channel groups could help you to follow those rules, but I think it would be a bit clumsy. IMHO you'd be better off trying to increase the zap speed of the Cine tuners, or just accept the less perfect "normal" approach (tuner can be used for anything, prioritise the FloppyDTVs).
