Freeview HD (DVB-T2) (1 Viewer)

Is there ever an issue with tuner scheduling ie the one tuner in the system which can record the HD mux has been grabbed by an earlier SD recording and is therefore unavailable when you need it?

You can use tuner priorities as suggested by porky996t, or alternatively don't map the DVB-T channels to the T2 tuner. That way your T2 tuner is dedicated T2 and the 2 DVB-T tuners handle everything else.

Hi,
If you do use the priorities you can still run into problems I also have a dual DVB-S2, dual DVB-T setup and origianlly I had my tuners setup with the DVB-S2 cards last. However there are some channels like 5 USA that are not on freesat/DVB-S which means that from time to time I ended up failing to record programs because both DVB-T cards where already in use recording shows that could have been recorded using the DVB-S card, so these days I have them setup as DVB-T, DVB-S2, DVB-T, DVB-S2 which seems to work slightly better (for me at least)...

Back on topic I am toying with either either swapping the DVB-T card for a DVB-T2 card, or getting a USB DVB-T2 card/dongle as now and again the two DVB-S2 cards are not enough... Does anyone have any experience of a USB DVB-T2 dongle?

Thanks

Andy

My PCTV 290e USB stick has been fine for the 2 months or so I've been using it with MP 1.2.0 beta/RC (using the drivers from Windows update).
