[QUOTE="MrWorf, post: 91189, member: 24163"] Here's an idea... If you're channelsurfing, there is a lag between the channelchange. Howabout having the TV server automatically use any free TV tuners to tune in the next channel (no timeshifting). Here's an example (done with a system with atleast two tuners) [list] [*] I turn on the TV on channel 1 [list] [*] MP tunes in channel 1 [*] MP uses the extra free tuner and tunes in channel 2 [/list] [*] I switch to the next channel (2) [list] [*] MP immediately switches to the second tuner and starts timeshifting it [*] MP uses the previous tuner to tune in channel 3 [/list] [*] I switch to the next channel (3) [list] [*] MP immediately switches to the first tuner and starts timeshifting it [*] MP uses the previous tuner to tune in channel 4 [/list] [/list] And so on... One could even extend it to keeping the previous channel tuned if there is enough available tuners. Ofcourse, this "quick-surf" mode will only work when there is atleast one extra free tuner for each TV client. Meaning that if you have 2 TV clients and want this functionallity, you'd need 4 tuners (or more if you want to be able to record aswell). Waddaya think? Would bet any other solution hands down :) [/QUOTE]
