    It would be a nice addition if one coulde choose what channel-changing-scheme (algorithm) should be used. Maybe even define your own scheme.

    Could just place a dropdown on the setuptv.exe app, giving the user the possibility to choose between 2-3 schemes.

    On a sidenote what happens if I am watching some channel and then suddenly the tvserver needs to do an instant recording or even a scheduled recording here and now.
    Do I get kicked along with a nice and polite message informing me of the event ?
    Ofcourse once kicked I could just connect to the new available stream or tune to another channel on the same transponder.

    Recording jobs should have a higher "rank" than normal viewers have.

    Have anyone tested this scenario ?

    I did check out the wiki: http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/TV-Engine_0.3/Cardalgorithm

    Although it does not illustrate what happens when a scheduled job starts or when a user starts an instant recording.

    Having the possibility to assign different users/IP's different channel-lock priorities would also be cool.

    Ex. I want myself as "high priority" while my leeching neighbour only gets the "low priority".

    I guess this must already have been discussed by the devs at some point.

    ;)
