Combination vs priority (1 Viewer)

[hassegubben]

I searched the forums and read the wiki, but I can't seem to find a clear answer. Here is my problem:

I have three analog tuners and two dvb-t tuners. In tv-server config I name the same channels from dvb-t and analog to the same name e.g. SVT1 (BOTH ANALOG AND DIGITAL). I have set the priority of the cards to highest priority for dvb-t tuners.

When I select to record a show from the guide, how do I make sure the digital(dvb-t) tuner is used instead of the analog tuner when the channel exists for both tuners?

In the webepg channel mapping I only map SVT1 to guide data, but I don't know if the dvb-t SVT1 or analog SVT1 will be recorded.

I tried to select the dvb-t SVT1 in combinations, but it didn't find the similar analog SVT1 so I could prioritize the channels. I actually did not understand how combinations worked.

I really want the dvb-t channels to be prioritized. Can anybody please help me explain this?

To all developers: CONGRATULATIONS TO A FABULOUS PIECE OF SOFTWARE! I only found one exception so far (of no importance) when selecting folders for video,music and dvd.

dvb-t priority over analog recording

Anybody with both analog and digital tuners who knows how to priritize the digital tuner over the analog tuner if the same channel exists (with the same name) for both tuners?

WHile I wouldn't put money on this I thought it was set up in the TV Server Configuration.

In the Server section (at the top), click on the server in the left hand panel and the cards come up in the right hand panel. It mentions the priority and you can move your cards up/down.

I'm no expert, currently trying to get my pair of (NEW!) Hauppauge 4000 cards to work, think it is to do with mapping but with MP it is always a touch of try it and see.
