A question if I may for those folks with a deeper understanding of how TV Server works when picking tuners for recording.
If I have 2 tuners (call them A & B) that can pick up channels 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 and another tuner (C) that gets channels 1, 2, 5, 6 & 7. If I put the tuners in with A highest priority, then B then C. If I have a programme set to record on channel 1 then 15 mins later a programme on channel 5 then 15 mins later one on channel 4 (with them all running concurrently in the end) what happened in TV Server?
Is TV Server clever enough to know these programmes are in the schedule and pick Tuner A for channel 1 then pick C for channel 5 instead of B as it knows it will need B for the Channel 4 programme later?
Or will it go simply on priority and pick A as first available for Channel 1, then B for Channel 5 and then fail to record the 3rd programme because there is no available tuner for channel 4?
My actual set-up is a bit more complex than this, I have 4 DVB-T2 tuners, 1 DVB-S and about to add a colossus connected to a cable set top box. So priority has become a little more important recently.
