Synopsis::

I'm scheduling two recordings at 21:30 today and I get a conflict. How can that be? I have two tuners and both are enabled for recording and TV viewing. I am not currently watching anything on liveTV

Are all channels assigned to both tv cards.

Check in MP setup\tv\tv channels\tvcards, where you can check assigned channels or add remove from individual tvcard.

Also helps if you hit the combine buton within tv channels.

Regards

All channels was assigned to both cards, I hadn't hit the 'combine' button, but I did now and it seems to have done the trick.

What, exactly is the 'combine' button?

 

[Paranoid Delusion]

It combines all the EPG info to both cards, allowing each card full independant access, but more importantly lets the other card know its being used.

So if one card is busy being used for watching TV, then the other card takes over channel change for recording purposes.

No more interruptions from recordings changing channel, just at the good bit.
