[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 892481, member: 82144"] Well, in that case I think the best you can probably do to make use of the second tuner is to [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/03_TV_Channels/2_Mapping']map all the channels from the first tuner[/URL] (no scanning required). This would mean that the second tuner can tune all of the channels available to the first tuner when the dish is in the right location. It would be probably also be recommended to prioritise the first tuner [which is connected to the motor] higher than the second. You do this so that tuning for regular timeshifting will be as fast as possible and should hopefully always succeed. TV Server will attempt to use the second tuner for recording, but should kick you off the first tuner if the dish is in the wrong place after the recording attempt with the second tuner fails. It will also let you attempt to timeshift (or record) any channel with the second tuner while the first tuner is in use. In other words, you won't see channels as unavailable in the guide when the motor is in the wrong position and the first tuner is in use. The main gotcha that I think you'll need to avoid is when you're using the first tuner for timeshifting, a recording starts successfully on the second tuner, and then you tune to a channel on a different satellite - TV Server wouldn't prevent you from moving the dish and screwing up the recording. mm [/QUOTE]
