What happens if 2 prorams try to tune different channels? (1 Viewer)

[Brash]

what would happen if i tried to scan channels or flip through channels in MP while Windows Media Center [win7 version] was recording something scheduled on same tuner?

single tuner

would that hurt something?

Just not a good idea , to have both MCE and TVServer enabled for TV at the same time, there will be conflicts and problems, you really do not want.

:sorry:

how would i fix?
would it damage card?


i ask becuase i accidently did this and got a blue screen crash. but after reboot everything seems to be working fine like it never happened.
does that mean it is fine?

Almost certainly. You won't damage hardware doing this, but if MP config and TV server config, there is a section for 'additional 3rd party checks' where you can disable all windows media centre services.

Best wishes,

okay, i hope so. i was worried the card might have been hurt or some system files would have been made corrupt or something. but i notice no difference. so i guess i'm in the clear.

if i disable windows media center services the way you say, that is only while MP is running right? so once i shut it down i can continue to use MCE?

i juggle between both a lot.
