[QUOTE="divxmaster, post: 1255178, member: 88623"] Hi Owlsroost, thanks for your reply. Ok, now what I said in my first post in this thread is making more sense. I have just done some testing, I turned off one of my DVBT tuners, so I only had one. Then I set a program to record at 9:00am, and added a pre-record of 3 minutes. Then I went to a dvbt channel on a[I] different mux[/I] and tried to set it to record a program ending at 9:00am. Nope, it wouldnt let me. This is the issue. The Tivo neatly gets around this type of problem (well actually its an add on - endpadplus), making all pre and post recording times soft. So in the above scenario it would record both programs, just skipping the 3 min pre record. Btw, I already knew how mediaportal handles recording of channels on the same mux. (Basically record whatever and whenever you like if on same mux) This issue I have with DVBIP, is I only have one dvbip source, but multiple channels available in that source. So only one dvbip tuner. I could add additional tuners but it wouldnt help, as only one channel can be active at one time. Basically the same as if you had only one dvbs/t tuner, and every channel was on a different mux. As mentioned, I may be able to write an add on that scans the recording database every now and then and looks for conflicts caused only by pre/post record, and removes the pre post record. (I've only pulled data from MP databases twice, so know basically very little about it) Cheers, Divxmaster [/QUOTE]
