[QUOTE="infinite.loop, post: 662327, member: 10723"] [B]Example:[/B] [LIST] [*]Pre/Post rec time: 10 minutes [*]Channel: RTL (scrambled) [LIST] [*]scheduled recording 1: Bones 20:00 -> 20:45 [*]scheduled recording 2: Fringe 20:45 -> 21:30 [/LIST] [/LIST] So at 20:35, TV-Server is still recording Bones. Because of pre-record time = 10 minutes, it should also start to record Fringe. Which TvServer can not do, because the WinTV-CI is unable to decode 2 TV-Channels [I](even on the same mux/freq!)[/I] at once. As a result of the post-rec time, the recording of Bones will stop at 20:55. Then Fringe recording will start. This means that you will loose the first 10 minutes of that episode. Setting pre/post rec time to small values won't help a lot, because then you can be sure that you will miss the start/end part of some recordings. 10 minutes is a safe value. With a decent TV-Card+CI+CAM, this is issue does not exist. I am sorry to say, but this is "explaination" from hauppauge is plain nonesense. My bet is on cheap hardware which simply can not decode more PID's. Simmilar to cheap CAM's. An [URL="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/TV-Server/listofcams"]AlphaCrypt CAM[/URL] can decode up to 14 PID's at once. Recording 2 concuring shows on the same channel is no issue with it. Or in a multiseat setup, have multiple clients tune to 3 channels on the same mux. So usually the limiting factor for how many channels you can decode at once is determined by the CAM. Never by the CI. Only Hauppauge is the exception in that case. [/QUOTE]
