[QUOTE="Kimpsu, post: 109462, member: 28750"] I'll post this in a thread of it's own: Not sure if this is related to multiple DVB tuners, but I have an issue when changing channels that sometimes it does not change it, but I have to change it back to some other channel and then back to the one I tried before, then it works again. I have currently set both my cards (Twinhan Cab-CI 2033 Mantis) to record and watching tv, in order to allow recording two channels at the same time. I also have timeshifting enabled Now my main question is should I configure them somehow else? Like watching only with card1, and recording with both? Or maybe record on card2 only, and watching + timeshifting on card1 only? Recording on only one card is not that big of a problem, just that I have set it to record 5 mins longer than the specified time of programs ending, cause during evening some channels seem to be late of schedule. That causes the tiny problem of sometimes not having the chance to record that 5 mins of extra. And, if I only have card1 set for viewing, and both cards for recording, does it always select card2 as the first recorder? Just asking cos I would not like my card1 to be busy viewing and recording, and card2 being idle, and me not being able to change the channel I am viewing. I wonder if my post made any sense It seems I need to set both cards for recording, since I have timeshifting enabled, in order to be able to watch a program with timeshifting and recording another, am I right? Or is timeshifting related to viewing only, so that I could set card1 for viewing and card2 for recording So maybe the best configuration would indeed be to set card1 for both viewing and recording, and card2 for recording only? Note that I always have timeshifting enabled.
