[QUOTE="Major_Mess, post: 346046, member: 29654"] At least TV Server doesn't lock idle cards from use by other programs anymore. Mediaportal should be able to work out if a card is in use and then move to it's next assigned card. There was much discussion about this years ago when Web Scheduler and Digitalwatch were being developed. Both of those programs were system friendly and would coexist with other apps. Meedio and most of the Winfast programs also happily share cards, and from memory ProgDVB was fine too. I havent really tested anything else. From memory, MediaPortal used to take over the card if Web Scheduler was using it. The current TV Server appears to have an error and fail to use the tuner? What happens when Orb go if it tries to use a card MP is using? There must be some sort of way of working out which tuner Orb will use first? Then force MP to use the other cards only. Pretty slack a program that allows multiple tuners doesn't let u select which to use, what about order? [/QUOTE]
